[Verse 2]
   D       G               G
So in this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
D       G               C
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
D       G               G
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
      Em           G         C
But a whole lot of ground to gain


[Chorus]
         C                     G
When you spend your whole life wishing
Am          G         C
Wanting and wondering why
        D          G
It's a long enough life to be living
C   Em        G       C
Why walk when you can fly?

[Verse 3]
D       G               G
In this world there's a whole lot of golden
D       G               C
In this world there's a whole lot of plain
D       G              G
In this world you've a soul for a compass
      Em          G       C
And a heart for a pair of wings


[Chorus]
          C                  G
There's a star on the far horizon
       Am           G     C
Rising bright in an azure sky
            D           G
But for the rest of the time you've been given
C   Em        G       C
Why walk when you can fly
