You and (Cmaj7)me a gainst the world.
Some times it feels like you and (Cmaj9)me a gainst the world
when all the (E7)oth ers turn their (Am7)back and walk a way (Am7)you can count on me to (F#dim)stay.
Re mem ber when the (Em)cir cus came to town
and you were (B7)fright ened by the clown?
Was n’t it (Em7)nice to be a round (A7)some one that you knew, (Dm7)some one who was big and strong and (G13)look in’ out for you and (Cmaj7)me a gainst the world.
Some times it feels like you and (Cmaj7)me a gainst the world
and for all the times we’ve cried, I (C7)al ways felt the odds were on our (F#dim)side.
And when (Em)one of us is gone
and one is left a (F6)lone to car ry on,
well, then re (Em7)mem ber ing will have to do;
our mem o ries a (E)lone will get us through.
Think a bout the (Dm7)days of me and you,
of you and me a gainst the (Cmaj7)world.
(Em)Life can be a cir cus.
They un der (B7)pay and o ver work us
and though we (Em7)sel dom get our due
(A7)when each day is through I (Dm7)bring my tir ed bod y home and (G13)look a round for me and (Cmaj7)you a gainst the world
Some times it feels like you and (Cmaj7)me a gainst the world.
And for all the times we’ve cried I (C7)al ways felt that God was on our (F#dim)side.
And when (Em)one of us is gone
and one is left a (F6)lone to car ry on,
well, then re (Em7)mem ber ing will have to do;
our mem o ries a (E)lone will get us through.
Think a bout the (Dm7)days of me and you,
of you and me a gainst the (Cmaj7)world.
