D       G               C            C
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
D       G               C            C
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
D       G               C            C
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
      Em          Em        C     C
And a whole lotta ground to gain
         C            C        G      G   Am          G/B       C    C
When you spend your whole life wishing,   wanting and wondering why
       D           G          C       C   Em        Em     C    C
It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly

C  C  G  G    Am  G/B  C  C   D  G  C  C    Em  Em  C  C
D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C      D  G  C  C    Em  Em  C  C

D       G               C            C
In this world there's a whole lot of golden
D       G               C            C
In this world there's a whole lot of plain
D       G              C          C
In this world you've a soul for a compass
      Em          Em      C     C
And a heart for a pair of wings
          C           C     G    G        Am           G/B  C    C
There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky
        D           G                C      C   Em        Em      C    C
For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly

D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    Em  Em  C  C
high..
D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    Em  Em  C  C
D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    D  G  C  C    Em  Em  C  C.
