Intro
~~~~~
Bm, A, G x2
Bm A G
Must have been, mid-afternoon,
Bm A G
I could tell, by how far, the child's shadow stretched out
Bm A G
And He, walked with a purpose, In his sneakers, down the street
Bm A G
He had many questions, Like children often do...
D E G
He said, 'Tell me all your thoughts on God'
D E G Bm
'Tell me am I very far?'
Verse 2
~~~~~~~
Bm A G
Must have been, late afternoon,
Bm A G
On our way, The sun broke free of the clouds
Bm A G
We count only blue cars, skip the cracks, in the street
Bm A G
And ask Many questions, Like children often do
Chorus 2
~~~~~~~~
D E G
We said, 'Tell me all your thoughts on God
D E G
'Cuz I'd really like to meet her, and ask her why we're who we are'
D E G
'Tell me all your thoughts on God, cause I'm on my way to see her
D E G
So tell me am I very, far, am I very far now ?'
Solo
Bridge
~~~~~~
Bm A G
It's getting cold, picked up the pace
Bm A G
How our shoes, make hard noises in this place
Bm A G
Our clothes are stained, we pass many cross-eyed people
Bm A G
and ask many questions, like children often do
Repeat Chorus
Solo
