                    F
Can't hear myself think
             Gm      F       C
Through the crashing of the rain
            Dm               C    A#
I'm passing judgment in the fast lane
                 F
Smoothing out a rough stone

Guess it comes with age
You start to wonder 'bout the time theft
How much of it you've got left
Comes in with the age now

Chorus:
  F                  Gm F C
When the dreams run dry
Dm      C       A#   F
I will be where I always was
F                 Gm F C
Standing at your side
Dm       C         A#  F
Letting go of the reins

F
We're all gonna die

When they're closing up the door
Nobody wishing that they worked more
Don't bother with your suitcase

We'll beat the birds down to Acapulco Bay
Or Honolulu on hearsay, running at our own pace
And I'll be on your side when the dreams run dry

    C
And I'll be on your side
Dm         C    A#
When the dreams run dry

Chorus

 F
Reach for the summit
      Dm
Of an ancient design
        F
On the verge of eternal
       Dm
On the heels of divine
                   A#
If you stumble and fall
(If you stumble and fall)
                     Gm
If the way can't be found
(If the way can't be found)

                       F              C 
We'll just follow the moon, to the stars
        Dm           C
To the sun, to the ground
      A#           F          Gm
And around, and around, and around

        F              C 
In the light, in the heat
             Dm             C
Through the folds, and the bends
     A#          F         Gm
And again, and again, and again

To the moon, to the stars
To the sun, to the ground
And around, and around, and around

In the light, in the heat
Through the folds, and the bends
And again, and again, and again,

      F
And again
