[Intro]

   Dsus2
My first and foremost memory
   C/D                         Dsus2         D/C
Is staring up in wonder at the wall
   Dsus2
It circumscribed the city
     D/C                             Dsus2            D/C
They said beyond it nothing dwelt at all
    Bb/D
But I
        C/D                            Dsus2
Came to wonder if the stories all were true
       Bb/D
So one night I made my mind up
    C/D                                Dsus2
I resolved that I would find a passage through

[Verse 1]

    Dsus2
And as I made my plans
              C/D                                Dsus2             D/C
My head would spin and swiftly dance between the whys
             Dsus2
Like why the roads were all dead ends
            C/D                           Dsus2          D/C
Why we'd no word to name the color of the sky
    Bb/D
And why
          C                                Dsus2
Did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?
           Bb/D
When I was through I lit my lamp
               C                                  Dsus2
With something soft and green and damp beneath my feet

[Chorus]

                     Dm
And I don't know the way
      G/C
But I know
         Bb
That I belong out here
                                         G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
        Bb
Setting out
            G
Across some new frontier
                                     Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take

{Verse 2]
       Dsus2
As the stars begin to fade
            C/D                                  Dsus2            C/D
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in
   Dsus2
It rakes over my tongue
             C/D                              Dsus2
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin
    Bb/D
And I
        C                                  Dsus2
See the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn
        Bb/D
Oh, the brilliance overwhelms me
          C                                 Dsus2
Leaves me wondering what new world I'm even on

[Chorus]

                     Dm
And I don't know the way
      G/C
But I know
         Bb
That I belong out here
                                         G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
        Bb
Setting out
            G
Across some new frontier
                                     Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take

[Interlude]

Same as the chorus

[Chorus]

                     Dm
And I don't know the way
      G/C
But I know
         Bb
That I belong out here
                                         G/C
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
        Bb
Setting out
            G
Across some new frontier
                                     Dsus2
A new horizon with each eager step I take
