Lyrics

You and me a gainst the world.

Some times it feels like you and (A)me a gainst the world.

When all the (C#)oth ers turn their (F#m)backs and walk a way,

(A7)you can count on me

to (D#)stay.

Re mem ber when the (C#m)cir cus came to town

and you were (G#)fright ened by the clown?

Was n’t it (C#m7)nice to be a round

(F#)some one that you knew?

(Bm7)Some one who was big and strong and (D)look ing out for (E13)you (E)and (Asus2)me a gainst the (A)world.

Some times it feels like you and (Amaj7)me a gainst the world.

And for (F#m)all the times we’ve cried,

I al ways felt that God was (D#)on our side.

And when (C#m7)one of us is gone

and one of us is (D6)left to car ry on,

then re (C#m7)mem ber ing will have to do.

Our mem o ries a (C#)lone will get us through.

(F#)Think a bout the days of me and you,

you and me a gainst the (A)world.

(G#7)And when (C#m7)one of us is gone

and one of us is (D6)left to car ry on,

then re (C#m7)mem ber ing will have to do.

Our mem o ries a lone will get us through.

(F#)Think a bout the (Bm7)days of me and you,

(CN.C.)you and me a gainst the (A)world.
