First Verse


E
I can't touch the clouds for you,
E                    B
I'll never reach the Sun for you.
B
I've never done the things
B             E
That you need done for you.
E
I've stretched as high as I can reach
E                   A
I guess I'm not the one for you;
A      B                                     E
'Cause I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun for you,
E  B                                     E
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.


Second Verse


E
I can't turn back time for you,
E                     B
And make you sweet sixteen again,
B
And I can't turn your barren fields
B  E
To green again.
E
And I won't sit around and talk
E                        A
Of how things might have been again,
A  B                                   E
No I can't turn back time and make you young again.
B                                   E
I can't turn back time and make you young.


Third Verse


E B
I hope you find somebody who
B   A               E
Can do the things I didn't do
E   A             E
And find a road I didn't find
E   B                E
And build a brighter world for you.
E B
I hope you find somebody bold
B         A         E
Enough to reach and take a hold
E   A               E
And guide your ever changing mind
E   A              B
And free your ever rising soul.
B     A          B
But I can't. No, I can't.


Fourth verse


E
I can't look inside your mind

And see the things you're hoping for.

And I can't help you chase the dream

You're groping for.

You say your arms are open wide,

But lord knows who they're open for.

I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you.

No, I can't chase your dreams or know your mind.


Fifth Verse


F#
So say goodbye, and don't look back
F#                  C#
I've had some happy days with you,
C#                           F#
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you.
F#
And when they ask about me,
F#                    B
You can say I was the one with you;
B   C#                                      F#
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you.
F#  C#                                    E
No, I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.

I  guess it's done,

I can't touch the sun...
