   Em7                           A      G                     A
I don't know what I'm searching for, I never have opened the door
  Em7                      A     G                      A
Tomorrow might find me at last, turning my back on the past
     D             A                      D              G      G/F#
But time will tell of stars that fell, a million years ago
Em            A          D        Dsus    A    D
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home
        Gsus      G        D 
You can never go home anymore

 G                                          D
All my life I, never really knew me till today
 G                                              D
Now I know why I'm just another step along the way
 F#m            Em             F#m              G
I lie awake for hours, I'm just waiting for the sun
          F#m           Em            A       A/G
When the journey we are making has begun
 F#m            Em              F#m                  Gmaj7
Don't deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart
      F#m           Em               A
Every happy ending needs to have a start

 G                                          D
All my life I, never really knew me till today
 G                                              D
Now I know why I'm just another step along the way
F#m                Em                  F#m              G
Weep no more for treasures we've been searching for in vain
           F#m             Em               A         A/G
Cos the truth is gently falling with the rain
F#m            Em             F#m              G
High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun
          F#m                   Em         A
Where the two that learned the secret now are one
  Em7                           A      G                     A
I don't know what I'm searching for, I never have opened the door
  Em7                      A     G                      A
Tomorrow might find me at last, turning my back on the past

But time will tell of stars that fell, a million years ago
Em            A          D        Dsus    A    D
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home
         Gsus      G        D
You can never go home anymore
