Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
We are passing this world on to our kids
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
From the day when they climb from their cribs
A augmentedA
We'll try and teach them well, show them that they're loved
G+G A augmentedA
But in the end all we can do is hope our best was good enough
D MajorD D7D7
They'll witness how this life can be so beautiful and cruel
G+G E MajorE
We can't shelter them forever but if we show them all the tools
A augmentedA A#dim7A#dim7 B minorBm G+G
They might leave this world in a little better shape than me and you
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
Chorus:
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
We are only passing through
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
Verse 2:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
We are watching this world from our living rooms
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Near forty years since we walked on the moon
A augmentedA
This big blue ball is shrinking and I don't know if that's good
G+G A augmentedA
But for better or for worse now this whole world is our neighborhood
D MajorD D7D7
And there is no place left to run to, to stay above the fray
G+G E MajorE
We better learn to get along not just to get our way
A augmentedA A#dim7A#dim7 B minorBm G+G
Not only for each other but our children's children too
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
Chorus:
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
We are only passing through
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
Verse 3:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And I wonder sometimes what will I pass on
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
How much can one voice do with just a song
A augmentedA
Sometimes injustice and indifference are all that I see
G+G A augmentedA
But I refuse to let my hope become the latest casualty
D MajorD D7D7
So I'll sing of love and truth and try to practice what I preach
G+G E MajorE
If I can't change the world, I'll change the world within my reach
A augmentedA A#dim7A#dim7 B minorBm G+G
What better place to start than here and now with me and you
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
Chorus:
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
We are only passing through
D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Passing through (passing through), passing through
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
We are only passing through
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
We are only passing through
