You may have seen a thread of silver, On the window in the bathroom
         Bm                                     D
That was thicker than the thread your heart was hanging from
             A                                G
You may have seen a lid of darkness, Clamping down upon a sunset

No less tightly than your heart was being strung

VERSE
             A                                      G
You may have seen the first star flickering, In the park one summer evening
        Bm                                   D
No less faintly than the dream that you were wishing on
             A                                  G
You may have seen the seagulls circling, On the haze above the factory
          F#m                                   A
With more purpose than the course your life was on
           Em                               F#m
But if you haven t seen the places you have come from,
         G                             A
Then you haven’t seen how far you have come

VERSE
             A                               G
You may have seen a blazing bonfire, Burning bright with fickle beauty
         Bm                              D
That was turned to lifeless ashes in the morning
             A                                G
