[verse (1)]
C make your Amway to promised lands
G build your Fcastles made of sand
hold the Amwater in your Ghands
for as long as you Ccan, but
yellow brick Amroads and pots of Ggold
can leave a Fyoung man looking Cold
and turn a Amwarm heart cold G-
[chorus]
F for the brightest of gemsCtones
can look Gdull without the sun
F the sweetest of victoCries
can taste Gbitter on your tongue
F and the truest of love Amsongs
can sound Emhollow when they're sung
F and the wisest words of Gage
are lost upon the young C---Am----G---F---C---Am----G---G-
[verse (2)]
C sail aAmway on distant seas G-
climb the Fmountains and the trees C-
search for Amdiamonds on your kGnees
for as long as you pClease, but
before Amyour years have Gpast
find a Fhomе that's built to Clast
for the Amcandle burns so Gfast
[chorus]
F for the brightest of gemsCtones
can look Gdull without the sun
F the sweetest of victoCries
can taste Gbitter on your tongue
F and the truest of love Amsongs
can sound Emhollow when they're sung
F and the wisest words of Gage, are lost upon
[bridge]
the Amyoung boy
Emalways in search of a Fnew toy
Cshining and bright like a Ammagpie
Emscouring the hedgerow for Ftreasure
Glost in the weeds and the Amweather
Emfooled by wrappings and Fring pulls
and Gdestined to search foreFver
[chorus]
F for the brightest of gemsCtones
can look Gdull without the sun
F the sweetest of victoCries
can taste Gbitter on your tongue
F and the truest of love Amsongs
can sound Emhollow when they're sung
F and the wisest words of Gage, are lost upon the young
