(Cm9)So man y (Fm9)roads to (Fm7)choose,

we (Cm7)start out walk ing and (Fm9)learn to run.

And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.

Shar ing hor (Fmaj7)i zons that are (C)new to us,

watch ing the (Fmaj7)signs a long the (Cmaj7)way.

Talk ing it (Amaj7)o ver just the (E)two of us,

work ing to (Amaj7)geth er day to (Bb7sus)day,

And when the eve ning (Abmaj7)comes

we’ll (Cm7)find a place where there’s (Fm9)room to grow.

And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.

Shar ing hor (Fmaj7)i zons that are (C)new to us,

watch ing the (Fmaj7)signs a long the (Cmaj7)way.

Talk ing it (Amaj7)o ver just the (E)two of us,

work ing to (Amaj7)geth er day to (Bb7sus)day,

to (Bb9sus)geth er.

(Bb9sus)geth er,

to geth er.

And yes, we’ve just be (Ebmaj7)gun.
