A thousand years ago Abm7 F#m7 B E ................. A thousand years ago Abm7 F#m7 B MMMhhh MMhhh E Abm7 F#m7 There exists a girl halfway round the world who looks as lost as B lost could be Who looks exhausted just like me E Abm7 F#m7 B (stop) And she's been losing sleep over thoughts too deep to consume As she stares at the ceiling of her room E And though she's trying so hard to make some sense about Abm7 Every little thing and each event that F#m7 Comes her way and now she's praying B Up into the sky where her god is waiting E Abm7 F#m7 But is he really there to listen to her prayers B (play out then stop) Or is he from a story E A thousand years ago Abm7 F#m7 B (bridge) A Ab What do you believe is true A in a world that's filled with lies Ab And who do you think painted the pictures A that became our morning skies Ab Do you even think at all or are just another F# Materialistic fool or skeptic Who counts their E money just to see if they're alive Abm7 F#m7 B uh huh And are you alive I havent got the next part i'll call it the interldue since i used bridge already. Its starts off: E E? Then some kind of A and slide to some kind of B I think...
