Lyrics

Hey,

have you (F#m7)ev er tried

real ly reach ing out for the (F#m7)oth er side?

I may be climb ing on rain bows,

but (F#m7)ba by, here goes.

Dreams,

they’re for (F#m7)those who sleep.

Life,

it’s for (F#m7)us to keep.

And if you’re won d’ring what this (G#m7)all

is lead ing to,

I want to make it with you.

I real ly think that we could (Emaj7)make it, girl.

No,

you don’t (F#m7)know me well;

n’ev ’ry lit tle thing, on ly (F#m7)time will tell.

But you be lieve the things that do,

and (F#m7)we’ll see it through.

Life

Love

can be (F#m7)right or wrong.

And if I chose the one I’d (G#m7)like

to help me through,

I’d like to make it with you.

I real ly think that we could (Emaj7)make it, girl.

(F#m7)Ba by, you know that
