 -4   -5   5*   -5  -5 -4   -4
Must have been late-af-ter-noon 
6   5*  -55* 5*  5* 5*-4 -3
I could tell by how far the 
   -3   -4  -4     -5     -4  -4
child's sha-dow stretched out and 
-6*6  6    -6* 6  6   -5  
He walked with a pur-pose 
-3 -4    -5  -3-4
In his sneak-ers 
 -3  -4    -5  -3* -4
Down the street he had 
-6*-5  6     5*   -5  -6*  6 -5 -5  5* -4
Man-y ques-tions like chil-dren oft-en do... 
-5   6
He said 

  -6* -7 -8   -6*    6     -5 -4
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-2* -6* -6* 6 -5  6 -5 -5
And tell me am I ver-y far?" 

Must have been late afternoon 
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds 
We count only blue cars 
Skip the cracks in the street 
And ask many questions like children often do... 
We said 
  -6* -7 -8   -6*    6     -5 -4
"Tell me all your thoughts on God? 
 -5   -5  -6* -6* -6* -6*  6  -5-4
Cause I'd real-ly like to meet her
-3  -6* -6*  6   -5    6  -5 -5-4
And ask her why we're who we are? 
-6*  -7 -8   -6*    6     -5 -4
Tell me all your thoughts on God? 
 -5   -5 -6* -6*-6* -6* 6 -5-4
Cause I'm on my way to see her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5  6 -5 -6*…
So tell me am I ver-y far 
-6*-6*-6*-6*6-5 -4 
Am  I ver-y far now?" 

It's getting cold 
Picked up the pace 
How our shoes make hard noises 
in this place 
Our clothes are stained 
We pass many cross-eyed people 
And ask many questions like children often do... 

 -6*  -7 -8  -6*     6     -5 -4
"Tell me all your thoughts on God? 
 -5   -5  -6* -6* -6* -6*  6  -5-4
Cause I'd real-ly like to meet her
-3  -6* -6*  6   -5    6  -5 -5-4
And ask her why we're who we are? 
-6*  -7 -8  -6*     6     -5 -4
Tell me all your thoughts on God? 
 -5   -5 -6*-6* -6*-6*  6 -5-4
Cause I'm on my way to see her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5  6 -5 -6*
So tell me am I ver-y far 
-6*-6*-6*-6* 6  -5  -6*-6*-6*-6* 6  -5
Am  I ver-y far now, am I very far now, 
-6*-6*-6*-6* 6  -5
am I very far now?" 
 -5  -5 -5   -5     -5    -5 -5
Tell me all your thoughts on God? 
-5  -5 -5   -5     -5    -5 -5
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
