(Capo on 1st fret)



         F
You will notice me
       C          C?nB          Am            G     F
I'll believe in my mark, like initials carved in an old oak tree
    G
You wait and see
Am
Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
F
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gough
D
Cure the common cold
                     F
I don't know but I'm ready to start, 'cause I know in my heart

  C
I wanna do somethin' that matters, 

say somethin' different, 
               F              G             Am
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
        G           F                               Dm
I wanna do somethin better, with the time I've been given
        ConE   F                          ConE
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life,
                  F                        G          C?nE 
and leave nothin' less than something that says I was here

F Am G C?nE F Am G

       F
I will prove you wrong
       C             C?nB         Am       G
If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock
            F
'Cause this stream's too strong
      G              Am
And before too long, maybe I'll compose symphonies
F
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
D                                           F
'Cause I know it's my destiny to leave more than a trace of myself in this place

  C
I wanna do somethin' that matters, say somethin' different
               F              G             Am
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
        G            F                               Dm
I wanna do somethin' better, with the time I've been given
        C?nE   F                          C?nE
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
                 F                        G          C?nE
and leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here

F Am G

Dm              C?nE
And I know that I, 
          F                                C?nE
I will do more than just pass through this life
                   F                        G          C?nE   F
I'll leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here, 
Am G   C?nE     
     I was here
