Fm Bb Eb
Oh make the future small
Ab Eb Ab
Like the painting we saw of St. Francis
Cm Fm Bb Eb
And there was, far away, a background city-
Ab Fm
We only found it with magnifiers and light
Cm Fm Bb
And I do wish the future was like that
Eb
Don't I know it

[Verse 2]
Cm Fm Bb Eb
Oh I will not move on
I'll be here on the lawn
Ab
In the same coat I have had
Cm Fm Bb Eb
Although I ask that I could correct
Ab
Every time of mistake and every regret
Cm Fm Bb
And there's so much that I haven't yet
Eb
Don't I know it
[Interlude]
Ab Fm Cm Ab Cm Ab
[Chorus]
Fm Cm Fm Cm Gm
And in the background of St. Francis
Cm Gm Ab Fm Cm Fm
There are rivers, spires, a long way off
Cm Gm Cm Gm Ab Eb
We could not really see them very well
Fm Cm Fm Cm
I want to be beside you
Gm Cm Gm
Through all these things
Ab
Cannot
Fm Cm Fm Cm
I want to keep this future
Gm Cm Gm Ab
From such closer measure
Eb
Cannot very well
