(Intro: Em, D, C, G (2x))
Em D C
Well we went out past the city limits trying to get a better
G
point of view
Em D C G
You were staring hard at me, I was staring back at you
Em D C G
And you said I was being secretive, said yes may be you're right
Em D C
But if there is logic in any of this madness you'll find it in
G
my eyes
Em D C G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
Em D C G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me
Em D C G
I've got a history of questions, the truth I can only feel
Em D C G
What matters to me the most is what is there and what is real
Em D C
We could start by shaking each other and talk about something
G
else
Em D C
And I know in the end we can get to the point and we can go and
G
get some rest
Em D C G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
Em D C G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me
Em D C G
Is it not written in the music, is it not painted in the skies
Em D C
It's time we stopped talking about soft drinks started talking
G
about our lives
Em D C
There are answers in the music and there are answers in the
G
words
Em D C
And if we stopped talking in circles we might get closer to the
G
earth
Em D C G
And be good, be kind, be truthful and feel free
Em D C G
And keep your wholly loving eyes on me
(Ending: Em, D, C, G, Am7, D)
