G                             Em
The unknown distance to the great beyond
        Bm                   G
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still

Chorus:
         G               Em
There's nothing I can say
         Bm                  G
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

And all that stands between the souls release
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam

                G
Every time you fall
                    Em
And every time you try
                Bm
Every foolish dream
                 G
And every compromise

Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me,
Rambles in my head

Chorus

G          D/F# Em       D/F# Bm Em D/F#
Up above the    world so high

And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry

Stay, don't leave me
The stars can wait for your sign
Don't signal now

Chorus

 G    D/F# G    D/A  G/B
Good-night,  travel well
      D/F# G    D/A  G/B
Good-night,  travel well

            D/F#             G
And there's nothing I can say,
                      D/A G/B
There's nothing I can do now
     D/F#     G D/A
Go travel well

Travel well
Travel well
