The build ings reach up to the (Db)sky,

the traf fic (Ab)thun ders on the bu sy street, the pave ment slips be (Eb)neath my feet, I (Fm7)walk a lone and won der who am (Eb)I.

I close my eyes then I can (Db)fly

and I es (Ab)cape from all this (Eb)world ly strife re (Ab)strict ed by rou (Eb)tine of life, but (Fm7)still I can’t dis cov er who am (G)I.

I long to (Am7)wake up in the morn ing and find (G)ev ’ry thing has changed, and all the (Am7)peo ple that I meet don’t wear a (G)frown.

But ev ’ry (Fm7)day is just (Bb7)the same, I’m (Cm)chas ing (Fm7)rain bows in (Bb9)the (Eb)rain.

All the (Cm)dreams that I be (Gm)lieve in let me (Fm7)down.

May be I’m reach ing far too (Db)high

for I have (Ab)some thing else en (Eb)tire ly free, the (Ab)love of some one (Eb)close to me un (Fm7)fet tered by the world that hur ries (Eb)by,

to (Fm7)ques tion such good for tune who am (Eb)I.
