(A)Grow in’ up,

(A)you don’t see the writ ing on the (A)wall.

(A)Pass in’ by,

But may be (F#m7)some time, if you (D)feel the pain, you’ll find you’re (F#m7)all a lone; ev ’ry (D)thing has changed.

(A)Play the game;

(A)you know you can’t quit un til it’s (A)won.

(A)on ly you can do what must be (A)done.

You know, in (F#m7)some way you’re a (D)lot like me.

You’re just a (F#m7)all a lone; ev ’ry (D)thing has changed.

(F#m7)pris on er, and you’re (D)try’n’ to break free.

I can see a new ho ri zon un der neath the (C#sus)blaz ing (C#)sky.

I’ll be where the ea gle’s fly ing (B)high er and (C#sus)high (C#)er.

Gon na be a man in mo tion.

All I need’s this (C#sus)pair of (C#)wheels.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing: (B)St.

Just once in his life

a man has his (E)time,

and my time is now!
