Capo on 4 

Bm                 G 
I'm following the sun 
                       D 
That's setting in the West 
                     D 
We're floating on a bed of fading lights 

Bm             G 
A canopy of trees 
                      D 
Bears witness to the breeze 
                     D 
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light 

Bm              G           D 
Baby, there's no better time 
               D                 Bm 
No better time, baby, we can't find 
            G             D 
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa 

       A           
With eternal love, the stars above 
 Bm 
All there is and ever was 
  G 
I want it all, I want it all 

I want it all, I want it all 
       A 
A blade of grass, a grain of sand 
  Bm 
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand 
  G 
I want it all, I want it all 

I want it all, I want it all 

Bm               G 
The embers of a fire  
                       D 
still burning as they die 
                       D 
Stay bright to keep us side by side 

Bm              G           D 
Baby, there's no better time 
                D                Bm 
No better time, baby, we can't find 
            G             D 
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

With eternal love, the stars above

I want it all, I want it all 

I want it all, I want it all

We got the sunshine
