Verse 1:
   C             G
When our race is run
  Am7            F
And the gold is won
          C
Look how far we've come
 Am   Am7        F
Dancing in the sun
 C              G
It is then I know
Am               F
I can't let you go
 C            G
It is then I know
            Am
It's not suitable

Chorus:
   F          C         G
To say I, to say I, to say I
 Am            C         F
To say I, to say I, to say I

And where would we be?

If it's not you

You and me
 Am                   F            C                            G
And if it's not you (If it's not you, if it's not you, if it's not you)
 C                 G
As the curtains close
         Am
On a sold-out show
 F             C      G
Look how far we've come
               Am
Dancing in the sun
  C
It is then I know

Why the bright stars glow

It is then I know
           Am
It's impossible


Chorus:
 Am           C         G

To say I, to say I, to say I
