Tom: A

A                     F#m
I met a man who had green-purple eyes
A                          F#m
He did the wrong thing and hid it with smiles
A                       F#m
And I know he would've rotted inside
D               E
But he never got caught
A                            F#m
And I always thought that you have to be nice
A                  F#m
And I really think most people try
A                    F#m                D             A
I saw a man give his lung just to save a stranger's life
   D              A         D            E
And my mother cried as they hugged and smiled

[Chorus]
    A                D               A             E
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
A            D         A           E
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
 A                  D
Looking down at the hope and the pain
A                         E
But the colours are all going to change
 A                D               A           E
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom

A F#m A F#m

[Verse 2]
A                     F#m
The city's been sitting in smoke for the weekend
A                     F#m
And the beaches are closed from rough seas and
A                     F#m
I've been told that it's just the seasons
D               E
But I don't think so
A                     F#m
I watched the white caps from West San Francisco
A                     F#m
Where the red bridge is standing in mist
A                    F#m
And everyone waits for their picture
D             A      D           A       D      E
Old friends smile, side by side against fading skies

[Chorus]
    A                D               A             E
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
A            D         A           E
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
 A                  D
Looking down at the hope and the pain
A                         E
But the colours are all going to change
 A                D               A           E
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom

[Bridge]
A                D      F#m       E
I can feel your anger from where I am
          A                D               F#m            E
You said, "I don't see a garden going on from where I stand"
            A           D       F#m            E
And I feel that too, I get scared and I feel stuck
            A                D
Then I see light, I see sky, I see babies that smile
          F#m                    E
And couples that meet up on wide, sunny streets
A                D               F#m            E
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?
A                D               F#m            E
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?
A                D               F#m            E
And I know those words make me sound so young
A                D               F#m            E
But what if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?

[Chorus]
    A                D               A             E
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
A            D         A           E
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
 A                  D
Looking down at the hope and the pain
A                         E
But the colours are all going to change
 A                D               A           E
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom
