[Intro]
Dsus2
My first and foremost memory
C/D Dsus2 D/C
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
Dsus2
It circumscribed the city
D/C Dsus2 D/C
They said beyond it nothing dwelt at all
Bb/D
But I
C/D Dsus2
Came to wonder if the stories all were true
Bb/D
So one night I made my mind up
C/D Dsus2
I resolved that I would find a passage through
[Verse 1]
Dsus2
And as I made my plans
C/D Dsus2 D/C
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys
Dsus2
Like why the roads were all dead ends
C/D Dsus2 D/C
Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky
Bb/D
And why
C Dsus2
Did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?
Bb/D
When I was through I lit my lamp
C Dsus2
With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet
[Chorus]
Dm
And I don't know the way
G/C
But I know
Bb
That I belong out here
G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Bb
Setting out
G
Across some new frontier
Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take
{Verse 2]
Dsus2
As the stars begin to fade
C/D Dsus2 C/D
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in
Dsus2
It rakes over my tongue
C/D Dsus2
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin
Bb/D
And I
C Dsus2
See the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn
Bb/D
Oh, the brilliance overwhelms me
C Dsus2
Leaves me wondering what new world I'm even on
[Chorus]
Dm
And I don't know the way
G/C
But I know
Bb
That I belong out here
G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Bb
Setting out
G
Across some new frontier
Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take
[Interlude]
Same as the chorus
[Chorus]
Dm
And I don't know the way
G/C
But I know
Bb
That I belong out here
G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Bb
Setting out
G
Across some new frontier
Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take
My first and foremost memory
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
It circumscribed the city
They said beyond it nothing dwelt at all
But I
Came to wonder if the stories all were true
So one night I made my mind up
I resolved that I would find a passage through
And as I made my plans
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys
Like why the roads were all dead ends
Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky
And why
Did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?
When I was through I lit my lamp
With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet
And I don't know the way
But I know
That I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take
As the stars begin to fade
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in
It rakes over my tongue
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin

But I know
That I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take
I don't know the way
But I know
That I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take
