Lyrics

(Gmaj9)Hang

on to

the world as it (Cmaj9)spins

a round;

(Gmaj7)just

(Em7)don’t

(Bm7)let

the (F#m9)spin

get you (Cmaj7)down.

(C)Things are mov ing fast;

hold on tight and (D)you will last.

Keep

your self

re spect,

your (Cmaj9)man

ly pride.

(Gmaj7)Get

(Em7)your

(Bm7)self

in (F#m9)gear,

keep your (Cmaj9)stride.

(C)Nev er mind your fears;

bright er days will soon be (Am7)here.

(Em7)Take (Bm7)it (F#m7)from (C#m7)me, (Em7)some (Am11)day

we’ll (Am7)all

be free.

(Ab13)Keep

on

walk ing tall,

hold your head (C6)up high.

Lay (Em7)your

dreams

right up

to the (Cmaj9)sky.

Sing your (C)brave

song,

and you’ll keep go ing,

go ing (Am7)on.

(Em7)Take (Bm7)it (F#m7)from (C#m7)me, (Em7)some (Am11)day

we’ll (Am7)all

be free.

(Ddim)Hey,

(Cmaj7)just (Bm7)wait (F#m7)and (C#m7)see, (Em7)some (Am11)day

we’ll (Am7)all

be free.

(Cmaj7)Take (Bm7)it (F#m7)from (C#m7)me, (Em7)some (Am11)day

we’ll (Am7)all

be free.
