*NOTES*  
The timing is a bit tricky to get the quick Am* in
there before the Em.  Just play along with the song
to get the timing down. 
 


STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO

I can see the path that leads a way
                                     Am* Em 
Mama never left and daddy needs me here
                              -stop
I wish the wind would carry a change

G                                           Am* Em
Looking through the window to a world of dreams
                               D* G
I can see my future slip away
                                           Am*    
Honey you wont get there if you don’t believe

’Til our lives were burning gold

Looking for my ticket to a higher place 
                                  D* G
I can see my chance begin to fade
                                  Am*
One step forward and two back again
