Intro: G Dadd9 C C
G Dadd9 C Dsus4
G Dadd9
I will be the gladdest thing
C C
Under the sun
G Dadd9
I will touch a hundred flowers
C Dsus4
And not pick one.
G Dadd9
I will look at cliffs and clouds
C Em
With quiet eyes,
Am Em
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
Am Dsus4
And the grass rise.
G Dadd9 C C
G Dadd9 C Dsus4
Am Em
Doesn't each of us have a place
Em
Where we belong.
Am
Could be a sidewalk crack
Dsus4
Or a sad song.
Am Em
Inside our searchings is desire
Am Bm Em
To etch a silent thought in stone
Am Bm Em C Dsus4
To make a tender heart known.
G Dadd9
I will be the gladdest thing
C C
Under the sun
G Dadd9
I will touch a hundred flowers
C Dsus4
And not pick one.
G Dadd9
I will look at cliffs and clouds
C Em
With quiet eyes,
Am Em
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
Am Dsus4
And the grass rise.
Am Em
And when the lights begin to show
F
Up from the town,
Am Em
I will mark which must be mine,
C D G Dadd9 C C
And then start down!
G Dadd9 C Dsus4
Am Em
Everybody wants to be a hero
Am Dsus4
Or a savior of small things
Am Em
I want to be champion of evening
Am Bm Em C Dsus4
To forget not the beauty of the in-betweens.
Em Dadd9
Every one of us an orphan
Am C Dsus4
Our bodies born from dust of the stars.
Em Dadd9
We can comfort each other in this place
Am C
I can look into your eyes
Dsus4
And see my own face.
