20revelation set his soul on fire.
    D41               Gmaj742           D43       D44
21She says she always knew he'd come around.
        D45            D46
22And the decades disappear like sinking
Bm47                  Bm48
23ships that we persevere.
             G49                  G50
24God gives us hope, but we still fear,
         D51         D52

Bm53               Bm54                G55           G56

34  I saw the ending when they turned the page,
           A70                 D71
35I threw my money and I ran away.
                D72                      A73

A74                          D75
39  Out where the dreams all hide,
D76                          G77
40  out where the wind don't blow.
G78                         Bm79
41  Out here the good girls die,
Bm80                  D81
42  and the sky won't snow.
D82                         G83
43  Out here the bird don't sing,
G84                          G85
44  out here the field don't grow.
G86                         Bm87
45  Out here the bell don't ring,
B788                        E89       E790
46  out here the bell don't ring.

50Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep,
            Gmaj796
51it's such a bitter form of refuge.
A97              A98                        D99
52  Oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege?
    D100
53And everybody needs you.
G101                D102                     Bm103
54  Is there still magic in the midnight sun?
           A104                       D105
55Or did you leave it back in 'Sixty-One?
       D106                        G107
56In the cadence of a young man's eyes,
G108                           D109
57  and where the dreams roll high.
