  C                 F        G
Where are you going I don't mind
      C                        F         G
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
     C             F        G
So where do I go what do I see
       C                 F      G
I see many people coming after me
     C                    F        E
So where are you going to I don't mind
      Am       Am/G       F         C
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
   F                     C         E
So I will follow you wherever you go
           Am    Am/G         F        C
If your offered hand is still open to me

Chorus:
   E      E7       Am         F
Strangers on this road we are on
 C           G         C  G/B F C G
We are not two; we are one

So you've been where I've just come
From the land that brings losers on
So we will share this road we walk
And mind our mouths and beware our talk
Till peace we find, tell you what I'll do
All the things that I own, I will share with you
And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today
We'll take what we want and give the rest away

Chorus

Holy man and holy priest
This love of life makes me weak at my knees
And when we get there, make your play
'Cause soon, I feel, you're gonna carry us away
In a promised lie you made us believe
For many men, there is so much grief
And my mind is proud, but it aches with rage
And if I live too long, I'm afraid I'll die

Chorus - x2
