And I can tell by the way
you're talking

you can take it all on

And I can
tell by the way you're searching
C 
G

For something you can't even name
G 
That you haven't been able
to come to the table
C 
G 
D 
Simply glad that you came

Verse 8
C 
G 
When you feel like this try
Em 
to imagine
C 
G 
That we're all like frail boats
D 
on the sea
G 
C 
Just scanning the night for
G 
that great guiding light
C 
G 
D 
Announcing the ju bilee

Verse 9
G 
And I can tell by the way
you're standing
D 
With your eyes filling with tears
G 
C

That it's habit alone that
keeps you turning for home
D 
Even though your home is right here

Verse 10
C 
G 
Where the people who love
Bm 
Em

you are gathered
C 
G

Under the wise wishing tree
G 
May we all be considered then
straight on delivered
C 
G 
D 
Down to the ju bilee

Verse 11
C 
Because to people who
G 
Em 
love you are waiting
C 
And they'll wait just as
G

long as need be
G 
C 
When we look back and say
G 
those were halcyon days
C 
D 
G 
We're talking about ju bilee
