B
What if all the worlds in space
Would melt into one single place
    A               EG#
And intertwine the human race
     F#m
With other kinds?
    B
The atom is an empty vase
A vehicle to know embrace
     A                 E  
The way you feel, the way you taste
    F#m
It multiplies

F#7             A
So much to share
F#7             A
So much to share

Chorus:
     D#     E      C#m
When all material scatters
    D#    E    C#m
And ashes amplify
    D#    Bm       F#m
The only place that matters
    B
Is by your side

What if all the time between
The words we say and what we mean
Would roll as softly as a stream
That we could ride?
We'd ride the bend from source to mouth
I want a friend from north to south
To build that question as a house
Where we'd reside

So much to share
So much to share
