(F)Who’s to say

what’s im pos si ble?

But (Gm)they for got

this world keeps spin nin’.

And with (F)each new day

I can feel a change in (Gm)ev ’ry thing.

And as the sur face breaks, re (F)flec tions fade.

But in some ways they re (Gm)main the same.

And as my mind be gins to be (F)spread its wings

there’s no stop ping cu ri (Gm)os i ty.

I wan na turn the whole thing (F)up side (Gm)down.

I’ll find the things they say just (F)can’t be (Gm)found.

I’ll share this (C)love I find with (F)ev ’ry (Gm)one.

We’ll sing and (C)dance to Moth er (F)Na ture’s (Gm)songs.

I don’t want this (C)feel in’ to go a (F)way.

This world keeps (C)spin nin’ and there’s (Am7)no

time to (Gm7)waste.

Well, it (Am7)all

keeps (Bb)spin nin’, spin nin’, (C)round and round and (F)up side (Gm)down.

Who’s to say what’s im (C)pos si ble and (F)can’t be (Gm)found?

I don’t want this (C)feel in’ to go a (F)way.

Please don’t go a (F)way.
