Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  were dreaming on a park  bench
About  a broad highway somewhere
Where  the music from the carillon
 Seemed to hurl  your heart out there
Past  the scientific darkness
Past  the fireflies that float
 To an angel  bending down
 To wrap you in  her warmest cloak  and you ask
 What am I not doing
 She says your voice  cannot command
 She says in time  you will move mountains
 And it will come  through your hands
Still  your angle for an option
 Still you argue  for your case
 Like you wouldn't  know a burning  bush
 Till it blew  up in your face
 We dream  about the future
 We memorize  the past
 When just  a simple reaching  out
 Could build  a bridge that lasts
 And you ask what am I not doing
 She says your voice  cannot command
 She says in time  you will move mountains
 And it will come  through your hands
So  whatever your hands find  to do
 You must  do with all your heart
 There are thoughts  enough to blow  men's minds
 And tear  great worlds apart
 There's a healing  touch to find  you
 Out on  the broad highway somewhere
 Gonna lift  you as high as music
Running  thru an angels hair
And  don't worry what you are not doing
 Cause your voice  cannot command
 She says  in time you will move mountains
 And it will come  through your hands

[E]You were dreaming on a [A]park bench
[E]About a broad highway somew[A]here
[E]Where the music from the [A]carillon
Seemed to [E]hurl your heart out [A]there
[E]Past the scientific [A]darkness
[E]Past the fireflies that [A]float
To an [E]angel bending d[A]own
To wrap you i[E]n her warmest cl[A]oak and you ask

What am I not  doing
She says   your [Abm]voice cannot command
She says in [F#m]time you will move mountains
And it will [B]come through your h[E]ands[A]    [E]        [A]
[E]Still your angle for an [A]option
Still you [E]argue for your [A]case
Like you w[E]ouldn't know a [A]burning bush
Till it [E]blew up in your [A]face
We [E]dream about the fu[A]ture
We [E]memorize the [A]past

Gonna [E]lift you as high as  [A]music
[E]Running thru an angels [A]hair
[A]And don't worry what you are not doing
Cause your [Abm]voice cannot command
She say[F#m]s in time you will move mountains
And it will [B]come through your h[E]ands[A]    [E]        [A]
