High Hopes Chords & Lyrics - Pink Floyd

[Am]Beyond the ho[Am7]rizon of the [F]place we lived when we were young
[Am]In a world of [Am7]magnets and [F]miracles
[Am]Our thoughts strayed [Am7]constantly and with[F]out boundary
The [Am]ringing of the di[Am7]vision bell had be[F]gun

*) [Am]Along the [G]long road and [E7]on down the causeway
[Am]Do they still [G]meet there by the [E7]cut

[Am]There was a [Am7]ragged band that [F]followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

Ref:[F]The grass was [Am]greener[Emi] , [F]
[G]The light was [Am]brighter[C] , [Dmi]
[F]With friends sur[Am]rounded [Emi] , [F]
[G]The nights of [Am]wonder[C] , [G]

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

*) Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
though down this road we've been so many times

Ref: The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dark mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever
