VERSE
Am	                 F
When I was young I was invincible
C			     G
I found myself not thinking twice
Am                       F
I never thought about no future
C                        G
It's just a roll of the dice

Am                                F
But the day may come when you've got something to lose
C                               G
And just when you think you're done paying dues
Am                           F
You say to yourself, "Dear, God what have I done?"
C                                G                   Am F
And hope it’s not to late ‘cause tomorrow may never come


CHORUS
C                        G                 Am F
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
C                        G                
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Am Em


VERSE
Am            F
Yesterday is history
C                 G
And tomorrow's a mystery
Am        F
But baby right now
C                G  
It's just about you and me 

Am                                  G
You can run, you can hide just like Bonnie and Clyde
C                           G
Reach for the sky; I ain't never gonna die
Am                            F
And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
C                          G                  Am F
And hold you tight ‘cause tomorrow may never come


CHORUS
C                         G                 Am F
Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
C                         G                
Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come


VERSE
Am                            F
So if you'd please take this moment
C                          G
Try if you can to make it last
Am                    F
Don't think about no future
C                          G                Am F
And just forget about the past and make it last

CHORUS
C                         G                 Am F
Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come
C                         G                 (end on Am)
Reach for the sky 'cause tomorrow may never come


Listen for the strumming; same pattern all the way through

//Due to a minor complaint, I've decided to add the rest of the song lyrics and chords.
