Many Roads

	  		


(verse 1) 

 D                             A            G 
If you'll step inside this great glass elevator, 
    D               A              G 
It'll take us up above the city lights, 
    D                        A           D/F 
To where the planet curves away to the equator, 
         G                 A/C# 
I wanna show you something fine, 
                D                                       G 
You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here, 
      D                  A          G 
A million minuscule decisions in a line, 
      D                     A             D/F 
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear, 
  G          A/C# 
But that's alright, we've got all night, 



                     G                          D 
Could it be that the many roads you took to get here, 
              A                             Bsus               (G) 
Were just for me to tell this story, and for you to hear this song 
               G                    D                              A 
And your many hopes, and your many fears, were meant to bring you here, 
      G 
All along, 


(verse 2) 

D                                      A          G 
So if you trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely, 
       D                      A            G 
And I will sing to you with all I have to give, 
        D                      A                 D/F   G 
Cause if you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play, 
           A/C# 
My biggest hits, that don't exist, 
D                                    A         G 
And if you lend to me your ear I'll sing them pretty, 
D                               A       G 
And I will never ever sing them out of tune, 
       D                   A            D/F             G 
And I will not forget the words to any Chorus bridge or verse, 
          A/C# 
I promise you, oh ohh 

--(Chorus 1)-- 

(Bridge) 

           Bsus                      A 
And we got Benjamin to play that old piano, 
          D                  D/F    G/B 
If we're lucky it's a little out of tune, 
           Bsus           A 
And we got Andy on the guitar, 
          D               A/C#     G 
Cause I promised him some Texas barbecue, oh ohh 

(verse 3) 

D                        A              G 
How I love to watch you listen to the music, 
D                       A             G 
Cause you sing to me a music of your own, 
   D                     A 
As I cast out all these lines, 
    D         D/F      G         A/C# 
So afraid that I will find I am alone, all alone, 

 


                      G                       D 
Could it be that the many roads I took to get here, 
              A 
Were just for me to hear that story, 
       Bsus              (G) 
And for you to sing that song 
             G                  D                             A         G 
And my many hopes, and my many fears, were meant to bring me here, all along 
D                         A/C#       G 
We were meant to be right here, all along.
