Verse:

B                 C
You’ve been on my mind
B                C
Guess it’s about time
   D               C       B
To see things just as they were
   D               C       B
To see things just as they were

B              C
Left so much behind
    B                   C
The sky opened up and I climbed
   D               C       B
To see things just as they are
   D               C       B
To see things just as they are

D         C               B
And on my way back to the ground
D       C                    B
I was appalled by what I had found

B              C
If you dare to be
B               C
True to what you believe
        D          C       B
There’s always somebody to lose
        D          C       B
There’s always somebody to lose

B           C
Even if you try
   B                       C
To pull all your feelings aside
        D          C          B
There’s always someone who will see
        D          C          B
There’s always someone who will see

B C B

D         C               B
And on my way back to the ground
D     C                       B
I was surprised by what I had found
D      C                        B
No one will ever be you for yourself
D           C               B
Even if the world is ready to help

B                   C
If you give it some time
B                   C
Out of the stranger you may find
D            C              B
Someone that hears what you mean
D            C              B
Someone that hears what you mean

B C B

D                  C                      B
These thoughts are easy to think, easy to say
D               C                          B
But when you’re walking alone, will you be okay?

B            C
Left so much behind
B                       C
The sky opened up and I climbed
D              C            B
To see things just as they are
D              C            B
To see things just as they are


D         C               B
And on my way back to the ground
D     C                      B
I was appalled by what I had found
D           C                   B
No one will ever be you for yourself
D           C                   B
No one will ever be you for yourself
