All power chords for the bridge and chorus.

Bridge:

E   F#  G   A
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We were almost there

E   F#  G   A
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Still I was unaware


Chorus:

E           B                 G
Here in the Brave New World's Embrace

G    C   G   C   G   C
I watch the parade begin

E             B            G
Searching for one familiar face
 
G     C    G    C    G    C
And I wonder where I fit in

E                  B         G
How will I know if there's a place

G    C    G    C    G    C
For me in the Brave New World



The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time
The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time


There's a face in the glass lookin' through the mirror
At the maze of my past it was never clearer
On the distant horizon the storm approaches
Better cover my eyes, better hide the roaches


In the best of my time there was something better
And the quest of my mind was to try and get her
Something simple, pure as the thoughts in my head
Not the tears in the rain over me she shed

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were almost there
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Still I was unaware


(Chorus)
Here in the Brave New World's Embrace
I watch the parade begin
Searching for one familiar face
And I wonder where I fit in
How will I know if there's a place
For me in the Brave New World


To be calm in the eye of the human storm
In the house full of dreams I am safe and warm
Looking back on a life filled with warm embraces
No regrets, only memories of smiling faces

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were almost there
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Now change is in the air


Here in the Brave New World's Embrace
I watch the parade begin
Searching for one familiar face
And I wonder where I fit in
How will I know if there's a place
For me in the Brave New World


Time
Until now I held the zone, I ruled the world
I called it home, I never saw the down side

Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were almost there
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I, I was unaware


Here in the Brave New World's Embrace
I watch the parade begin
Searching for one familiar face
And I wonder where I fit in
How will I know if there's a place
For me in the Brave New World


See the now, see the Zen
There is no division
Through the eyes of a child
There is perfect vision
And the best of our lives 
Resonate the hills
And the sun's going to shine
And you know that I will...
