Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7

[Verse]
Amaj7                                                                  C#m
Somewhere down the way, there’s a hidden place that anyone
B       E     Amaj7        Amaj7
That all of us could find
Amaj7                                                                C#m
But all our maps have failed, so venture through the veil and realize
B            E         Amaj7      Amaj7
That these roads are intertwined

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
Far beyond those walls, gleaming black and white
C#m
Further than our false schemes of wrong and right
F#m
Is a field where we can walk
C#m                      B
Leaving all our names behind

[Chorus]
C#m    B                      Amaj7                      E
I will meet you there, beyond the pines
B                                           C#m
Templed in twilight or dawn
C#m         B              Amaj7
The light and easy air
E                                        B
Tracing the lines on our palms

[Verse]
Amaj7                                                                  C#m
Somewhere down the road is a place that we can go where everyone
B                           Amaj7
And everything is divine
Amaj7                                                                    C#m
And when we’re all awake, we can finally make an end of these
B                           Amaj7
Divisions in our minds
