  			D      C       Bm  
You’ve been on my mind 
D     C    Bm  
Guess it’s about time 
G  C               Bm        
To see things just as they were 
G  C               Bm  
To see things just as they were 

D    C       Bm  
Left so much behind 
D       C             Bm  
The sky opened up and I climbed 
G  C               Bm  
To see things just as they are 
G  C               Bm  
To see things just as they are 

D         C        Bm  
And on my way back to the ground 
G     C           Bm  
I was appalled by what I had found 

D      C       Bm  
If you dare to be 
D       C        Bm  
True to what you believe 
G              C        Bm  
There’s always somebody to lose 
G              C        Bm  
There’s always somebody to lose 

D    C      Bm  
Even if you try 
D       C          Bm  
To pull all your feelings aside 
G       C              Bm  
There’s always someone who will see 
G       C              Bm  
There’s always someone who will see 

D         C        Bm  
And on my way back to the ground 
G         C        Bm  
I was surprised by what I had found 
D           C           Bm 
No one will ever be you for yourself 
G           C              Bm  
Even if the world is ready to help 

D      C            Bm 
If you give it some time 
D          C        Bm 
Out of the stranger you may find 
G            C     Bm  
Someone that hears what you mean 
G            C     Bm  
Someone that hears what you mean 

D                  C       Bm 
These thoughts are easy to think 
D    C  Bm 
Easy to say 
G               C        Bm  
But when you’re walking alone 
G    C        Bm  
Will you be okay? 

D       C    Bm 
Left so much behind 
D       C             Bm 
The sky opened up and I climbed 
G  C               Bm  
To see things just as they are 
G   C              Bm  
To see things just as they are 

D         C        Bm 
And on my way back to the ground 
D      C          Bm 
I was appalled by what I had found 
G           C           Bm  
No one will ever be you for yourself 
G           C           Bm  
No one will ever be you for yourself
