*this melody played throughout verses

A thcousand years, a thousand more
A thBsus2ousand times a million doors to etg7sus4ernity 
I may have lived a [c/Fb]thousand lives, a thousand times
An eBsus2/Gbndless turning stairway climbs To a towg7sus4er of souls
If it takes another thcousand years, a thousand wars
The toBsus2wers rise to numberless floors in spag7sus4ce     
I could shed another mi[c/Fb]llion tears, a million breaths
Bbsus2Gb g7sus4
A million names but only one true face
A milclion roads, a million fears
A miBsus2llion suns, ten million years of uncerg7sus4tainty 
I could speak a mil[c/Fb]lion lies, a million songs
A milBsus2/Gblion rights, a million wrongs in this balag7sus4nce of time
But if there was a sicngle truth, a single light
A sinBsus2gle thought, a singular touch of grace g7sus4       
Then following this s[c/Fb]ingle point, this single flame
This Bsus2/Gbsingle haunted memory of your face g7sus4       
I sticll   lBsus2ove        g7sus4you,   
I stcill   waBsus2nt       yg7sus4ou     

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent

I may know many things, I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands

Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times

Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes

Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief

I've kept this single faith I have but one belief

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times these mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

'Till you love me
