Thousand Years Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

*this melody played throughout verses

A thFmousand years, a thousand more

A thA♯sus2ousand times a million doors to etGm7sus4ernity

I may have lived a Fm/G♯thousand lives, a thousand times

An eA♯sus2ndless C♯turning stairway climbs To a towGm7sus4er of souls

If it takes another thFmousand years, a thousand wars

The toA♯sus2wers rise to numberless floors in spaGm7sus4ce

I could shed another miFm/G♯llion tears, a million breaths

A milA♯sus2lion nC♯ames but only one true face Gm7sus4

A milFmlion roads, a million fears

A miA♯sus2llion suns, ten million years of uncerGm7sus4tainty

I could speak a milFm/G♯lion lies, a million songs

A milA♯sus2lion riC♯ghts, a million wrongs in this balaGm7sus4nce of time

But if there was a siFmngle truth, a single light

A sinA♯sus2gle thought, a singular touch of grace Gm7sus4

Then following this sFm/G♯ingle point, this single flame

This A♯sus2single C♯haunted memory of your face Gm7sus4

I stiFmll lA♯sus2ove Gm7sus4you,

I stFmill waA♯sus2nt yGm7sus4ou

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent

I may know many things, I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands

Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times

Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes

Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief

I've kept this single faith I have but one belief

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times these mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

'Till you love me
