A Thousand Years

Key of E Verse - riff x4 Verse: E A D D / E A D D / G A F# F# / G A B B CHORUS: BASS - first hang on 1 second Ab - A - F# - F# third G - C - B - B VS1 A thousand years, a thousand more A thousand times, a million doors to eternity I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times An endless turning, stairway climbs to a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars The towers rise to numberless floors in space I shed another million tears, a million breaths A million names, but only one truth to face ---------------------------------------- CHORUS: I still love you Still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head ----------------------------------------- VS2 A million roads, a million fears A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies, a million songs A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth, a single light A single thought, a singular touch of grace Then following this single point, this single flame The single haunted memory of your face CHORUS:-------------- VS3 I may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief CHORUS
