Key: Db

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C F Am G x2

Verse 1:
         F
You will notice me
        G          Am
I'll be leaving my mark
      G                    F
Like initials carved in an old oak tree
     G
Just wait and see

Pre-Chorus:
Am
  Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
F
  Maybe I'll paint like Van Gogh
D7
  Cure the common cold, I don't know
        F
But I'm ready to start 'cause I know in my heart

Chorus:
  C                       F
I wanna do something that matters
              C
Say something different
               F              G            Am
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
        G            F
I wanna do something better
                    Dm
With the time I was given
        C      F                          C
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
              F                        G
Leave nothing less than something that says
      C
I was here

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
       F
I will prove you wrong
       C             Am                    G
If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock
           F
Cause this dream's too strong
      G
And before too long

Pre-Chorus:
Am
 Maybe I'll compose symphonies
F
 Maybe I'll fight for world peace
D7
 Cause I know it's my destiny
         F
To leave more than a trace of myself in this place

Chorus:
  C                       F
I wanna do something that matters
              C
Say something different
               F              G            Am
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
        G            F
I wanna do something better
                    Dm
With the time I was given
        C      F                          C
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
              F                        G
Leave nothing less than something that says
      F
I was here

              C
Say something different

I know that I will do more than just pass through this life
                  F                        G
And leave nothing less than something that says
      C   F Am G
I was here
      C   F Am G
I was here
      C
I was here
