Originally in Dm, capo 5. I play these chords open.

My intro: /Am.../Am.../F.../C.../Em.../Em.../G.../F.../

        Am                     F           C 
It's an unfinished life that I find lies before me
   Em                     F             G 
An open-ended dream and I don't want to wake
     Am                        F                 C 
I've crossed so many rivers in search of crystal fountains
     Em                     F                   C 
I've found the truest paths always lead through mountains
          G                     Em                  Am 
I've seen water on the sky, and fire burning on the lake.

CHORUS:
F           C      F               C
You said to me, "I cannot make you happy.
       Em                     F                    G
Like a wounded bird, you must find the strength to fly.
Am                               F             C
Time can paint the treetops with colors of the rainbow
        Em                      G              F
But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try."


       Am                   F         C 
It's a journey with my soul that I am taking.
Em                          F             G 
One that only goes from the cradle to the grave. 
Am                           F               C 
Going 'round in circles like painted dancing horses 
Em                  F             C 
Up and down we ride on the wooden courses.
    G                         Em                Am 
And light from a lover's eyes is all that I can save.

CHORUS

        Am                   F              C 
So I'll take the day and run out across the open fields 
Em                         F               G 
Where the grass grows high and the shadows fall
         Am                   F             C 
Where my eyes can see all the colors in the air
   Em                  F              C 
So quiet that the wind whistles in my hair
    G                     Em              Am 
And takes the rising dust and carries it away

CHORUS
