Must have been mid afternoon

I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out

He walks with a purpose

In his sneakers, down the street, he had

Many questions, like children often do

He said

Tell me am I very far

We count only blue cars

Skip the cracks, in the street, and ask

Many questions, like children often do

We said

Chorus 2

D E G

Tell me all your thoughts on God

Cause I'd really like to meet her

D E G

And ask her why we're who we are

D E G

Tell me all your thoughts on God

'Cause I'd really like to meet her

D E G

So tell me am I very faaaaaar

Am I very far now

Verse 3

B A G

It's getting colder, pick up the pace

B A G

How our shoes make hard noises in this place

B A

Our clothes are stained

G

We pass many, cross-eyed people and ask

B A G

Many questions, like children often do

Chorus 3

D E G

Tell me all your thoughts on God

Cause I'd really like to meet her

D E G

And ask her why we're who we are

D E G

Tell me all your thoughts on God

'Cause I'd really like to meet her

D E G

So tell me am I very faaaaaar

Am I very far now
