   Show a little inspiration,    show a little spark 
C5      C5                     C5      F5          C5     C5      C5   F5 
   And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart 
C5      C5                 C5       F5             C5      C5      C5   F5 
   And tell me something I don't know instead of everything I do 
C5      C5             C5   F5    C5           C5   C5   F5 
   And look at me as if I mean something to you 
 

G5                G5         G#5   G#5   A5           A5    D5  D5 
  Our hearts are beating while we sleep, but while we're wide awake 
             F5           C5         C5           C5 
You know the world won't stop, and actions speak louder 
F5              C5                   C5          C5 
Listen to your heart, and what your heart might say 
G5             A5       F5       G5       C5  C5  C5  F5 
Everything we got, we got the hard way 
 
Show a little passion, baby, show a little style 

And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how 

And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path 

You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back 
 
Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith 

That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder 

Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say 
G5             A5       F5       G5       C5  C5  C5  C5 
Everything we got, we got the hard way 
 

E5          E5    F5         F5    C5                C5        G5    G5 G5 
   Caught up in our little lives,    there's not a lot left over 
E5             E5      A5     A5        F5       F5    G5      G5 
   I see what's missing in your eyes; you're searching for that field of clover 
 

C5  C5  C5  F5    C5  C5  C5  F5    C5  C5  C5  F5    C5  C5  C5  F5 
{instrumental} 
 
So show a little inspiration, show a little spark 

Show the world a little light when you show it your heart 
 
We've got two lives, one we're given and the other one we make 

And the world won't stop, and actions speak louder 

Listen to your heart, and your heart might say 
G5             A5       F5       G5    G5             A5       F5       G5 
Everything we got, we got the hard (everything we got, we got the hard way) 
G5             A5       F5       G5    C5   C5   C5   F5 
Everything we got, we got the hard way 
C5     C5             C5         F5                C5     C5   C5   F5 
       (because the world won't stop)  hang on, baby...
