  			(Intro) A   A/G   F#7   Bm7   A11   Dm   E11   E 

A                      A/G         F#7 
The lightning flashed as angels 
Bm7               A                               Dm    E11   E 
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds 
A                      A/G         F#7 
That answer scared me into tears 
Bm7               A                               E11   E 
And all the grownups laughed out loud 

                A                                 A11/B 
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone 
                A                                          A7 
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens 

D                 E         A          E/G#    F#m    E 
There's a world in every drop of rain 
D                 E         A          E/G#    F#m    E 
Embracing oceans sweep us home again 
              D                                 E 
Come along with me, come along with me 
                  D                              E 
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie 

(Intro)  A   A/G   F#7   Bm7   A11   Dm   E11   E 

A                      A/G   F#7 
They say for every living thing 
Bm7               A                  Dm    E11   E 
There's a guide up in the sky 
A                       A/G             F#7 
That helps you pass from world to world 
Bm7    A                  E11   E 
So you never really die 

                    A 
Then with scythe and cloak 
              A11/B 
Death comes waltzing to your side 
              A 
As the visions pass you ask 
                       A11/B 
If there was meaning to your life 
               B 
As you strain to hear the answer, 
                 B11/C# 
Spirits sing, and devils fiddle 
               B                                                       B7 
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle 

E    F#                        B     F#/A#    G#m 
Oh Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain 
F#           E                     F#              B     F#/A#   G#m 
All the questions in our minds We surely ask in vain 
 F#         E                                F# 
Come along with me, come along with me 
                 E                                F# 
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life 

(Intro)  B   B/A   G#7   C#m7   B11   Em   F#11   F# 

B                   B/A  G#7 
And now my life is like a storm 
C#m7   B11                    Em   F#11   F# 
Growing stronger every day 
B            B/A  G#7 
Like the unrelenting wind 
C#m7              B11                    Em   F#11   F# 
That comes to blow our lives away 

         B                              B11/C# 
So I live each day like I know it's my last 
         B                                         B7 
If there is no future, there must be no past 

E         F#                            B     F#/A#    G#m 
Now I know the answers never meant a thing 
F#                       E                     F# 
And with each instant that I breathe 
                  B     F#/A#   G#m 
I feel the joy that life can bring 

F#         E                                F# 
Come along with me, come along with me 
                 E                                F# 
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie 

( B   B/A   G#7 ) 

              E                                F# 
Come along with me, come along with me 
                  E                       F# 
Seek the truth, you will find another lie 

(Intro)  B   B/A   G#7   C#m7   B11   Em   F#11   F#
