Intro:

C majorC E minorEm FF (x3)
A minorAm E minorEm FF

First Verse:
    C majorC       E minorEm
In the latest midnight hour
     FF
When the world has gone to sleep
       C majorC E minorEm FF
You gotta get up
   C majorC       E minorEm
When doubts begin to rise
     FF
And the world is at your feet
       A minorAm E minorEm FF
You gotta get up

Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm FF            C majorC E minorEm FF
Reach, It's not as bad as it seems

I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
   FF
For anyone but myself


C majorC E minorEm FF (x2)


Second Verse:
   C majorC      E minorEm
I'm not a selfless man

   C majorC     E minorEm
If I had all the world,
     FF
Probably give it to myself
     C majorC      E minorEm
But the trees begin to walk
     FF
And the ground begins to talk
     A minorAm E minorEm FF
And myself

Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm FF            C majorC E minorEm FF

   FF
For anyone but myself

I cleanse in the river for somebody else,
   FF
For anyone but myself
