A bus station, in the steam from the rain
B5 A5 G5 D5 D5
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay?

The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now
B5 A5 G5
And the houses spread for a million miles,
D5 D5
in this gray town
Pre-Chorus:
B5 B5 G5 A5
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
B5 B5 G5 A5
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance
B5 B5 A5
Would you fall to pieces
B5 B5 D5
Would you fall to pieces
B5 B5 A5
Would you fall to pieces
D5 D5
In the high countries?

We are just pilgrims of the great divorce

I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse

B5 B5 G5 A5
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand
B5 B5 G5 A5
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance

A5 B5 G5 D5
You drink the cup to the bottom , but it burns in your hands

The cup was poured out on the Maker instead

Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost

Bound up with all that I call mine; still the light grows
