{Intro} 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
F# G E Am F F6sus2 C 

{Verse} 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
There's a boy I used to know 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
He was always searching high and low 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
Others looked and wondered why 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
He said I am reaching for the sky 

F# G E Am F F6sus2 C 

{Verse} 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
They say good will come to those who wait 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
Don't think too big just know your place 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
People don't belong in clouds or space 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
It's just an empty quest for ego's sake 

{Chorus} 
        F#      G        E       Am 
He said I'll be reaching for the sky 
  F               F6sus2  G 
I have to see how high it goes 
      F#     G          E    Am 
While others they won't even try 
F                F6sus2  C 
I'll be reaching for the sky 

C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 

{Verse} 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
Do the stars shine brighter there? 
C  Cadd9  F6sus2/C  C 
Can you really walk on air? 

{Chorus} 
C                            G   
If other men have reached the moon 
Am                   G       F 
Saturn's rings could be mine soon 
        F#   G        E       Am 
He said I am reaching for the sky 
F                         F6sus2  G 
'Cause I have to know how high it goes 
    F#     G          E    Am 
And others they won't even try 
F                F6sus2  G 
I'll be reaching for the sky 
F                F6sus2          G 
I'll be reaching for         the sky
