[Verse 1]
C                 G         C                 G
Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?
          Bm                        G                Em
Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow
C                 G               C      G
Don't you want to be there in the golden glow

[Verse 2]
C                 G         C                 G
Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly?
          Bm                    G                   Em
With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky
C                 G                 C           G      C
Don't you want to be there when the time's gone by

[Chorus 1]
G                                      C
Times there was love all around you
G                                 C
Times you were strong and alone
G                                      C
Times you believed love had found you
G                    G/F#        Em
And you fell through time like a stone

                   C             D
And those you have wronged, you know
    G       G/F#               Em
You need to let them know some way
                   C             D
And those who have wronged you, know
  G            G/F#            Em
You'll have to let them go someday

                  C
Don't you want to be there?
                   A7
Don't you want to cry when you see how far
                    G           B7       Em
You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules
           C         G
Instead of where you are

[Verse 3]
C                 G         C                 G
Don't you want to be there, don't you want to know?
          Bm               G                  Em
Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go
C                 G                 C        G       C
Don't you want to be there when the trumpets blow

[Chorus 2]
G                                  C
Blow for those born into hunger
G                                      C
Blow for those lost 'neath the train
G                                 C
Blow for those choking in anger
G              G/F#     Em
Blow for those driven insane

                   C            D
And those you have wronged, you know
    G       G/F#               Em
You need to let them know some way
                   C             D
And those who have wronged you, know
 G             G/F#            Em
You'll have to let them go someday

                  C
Don't you want to be there?
                  A7
Don't you want to see where the angels appear
                  G                B7           Em
Don't you want to be where there's strength and love
       C         G
In the place of fear
