As he travels (G major) on the beast of burden
Verse 1
(A minor)
Moving up (G major) along the mountainside
(A minor) As he gazes looking (G major) down the valley
(F major) No regret (G major) s but his pride (A minor)
As he journeys across (G major) mountain passes
(A minor) Insignificance sweep (G major) s over him (A minor)
His reflection of the (G major) beauty
'round him
Feeling (F major) (G major) empty inside
(A minor) He is running from
(G major) his wildest thoughts
(A minor) He is running (G major) from his everything
(A minor) He is looking now to (G major) find something
(F major) Hoping (G major) he could be saved

He's searching (E minor) for the answer
now (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
It's something that he's managed
to avoid (C major) up 'til (B minor) now (D major) (E minor)
Real conviction that he craves (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
He needs to find the answer sooner (C major)
than (B minor) later (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
Pushed himself to the limits
(C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor) He had to strive for all

(D major)
Verse 3
(B minor)
Life is is not a rehearsal
(C sharp5) All he has is the one chance

But now the pain of lying too
(E minor) early in the grave

He tries to (E minor) make his peace
with God (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
All is forgivable but it's (C major) left
a little late (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
Trying something that he's not (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
Is it possible to change (C major) such a
(B minor) lot? (D major) (A major) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor)
He's taken someone's life
away (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
There's not a day goes by he re (C major) grets
what he's (B minor) done (D major) (E minor)
He should have found
another way (C major) (B minor) (D major) (E minor)
But the good book says,
an (C major) eye for an (B minor) eye (D major) (B minor)
In reflecting on decision (D major)
(C sharp5) s that were made (D major)
On the judgments that will haunt (E minor)
him 'til his grave (B minor)

But in his mind he had no choice, (E minor)
so be it
