E                     2             3  
There comes a son, A son of angels 
(3) 
Carrying an empty glass 
E                 2 
Trying to fill it to the surface 
3 
Well tell your thirst love has passed 
 
     E         2 
You carry on, carry the world 
     3 
You must get worn with all the weight 
E                 2                     3 
I take it in but you won't no where 
(3) 
And no where's where we're headed fast 
 
 
Bm   A         E 
    Oh, oh, Rodeo 
Bm    A                  A 
    Slow turning to and fro 
Bm    A        E 
    Oh, oh, Rodeo 
     A 
    Where we land no one knows 
             E           2    3 
    no one knows... 
 
 
We're not blind to what it is 
In other words, the ignorant kind 
Well life is short, but oh it's wide 
It's wide enough to change your mind 
 
Well I believe in ever-after 
Just in case what's after that 
Don't I love you like the angels 
And could you ever love me back? 
{Chorus} 
Strangers now we are becoming 
Stranger now we have become 
If any fiction every returns 
Returned by the coolest one 
{Chorus}
