(Capo on 1st fret)



         F5
You will notice me
       C5          C?nB          A5            G5     F5
I'll believe in my mark, like initials carved in an old oak tree
    G5
You wait and see
A5
Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
F5
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gough
D5
Cure the common cold
                     F5
I don't know but I'm ready to start, 'cause I know in my heart

  C5
I wanna do somethin' that matters, 

say somethin' different, 
               F5              G5             A5
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
        G5           F5                               D5
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,
                  F5                        G5          C?nE 
and leave nothin' less than something that says I was here

F5 A5 G5 C?nE F5 A5 G5

       F5
I will prove you wrong
       C5             C?nB         A5       G5
If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock
            F5
'Cause this stream's too strong
      G5              A5
And before too long, maybe I'll compose symphonies
F5
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
D5                                           F5
'Cause I know it's my destiny to leave more than a trace of myself in this place

  C5
I wanna do somethin' that matters, say somethin' different
               F5              G5             A5
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
        G5            F5                               D5
I wanna do somethin' better, with the time I've been given
        C?nE   F5                          C?nE
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
                 F5                        G5          C?nE
and leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here

F5 A5 G5

D5              C?nE
And I know that I, 
          F5                                C?nE
I will do more than just pass through this life
                   F5                        G5          C?nE   F5
I'll leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here, 
A5 G5   C?nE     
     I was here
