Lyrics

There’s a (G)mo ment you’ve been (D)wait ing all your (C)life for,

when you (G)find the ver y (D)rea son you’re a (C)live for.

And it (Am)hap pens when you (Em)seem to least ex (D)pect it,

all at (Am)once you come a (Em)live and feel con (D)nec ted.

I ig (G)nored the beat in (D)side my heart for (C)too long,

had ac (G)cept ed what was (D)right but al ways (C)felt wrong.

It’s the (Am)sec ond hand of (Em)time I’d been a (D)slave to,

but in (Am)side there was a (Em)feel ing, some thing (F)I al ways (D)knew.

When the (G)world turned up side (C)down

and the (G)earth and sky changed

a round.

All the (Am)whis pers of the (B)pos si ble be came (Em)clear and loud,

when the (G)world turned up

side (G)down,

when my (G)world turned (Cm)up side (G)down.
