verse 1 
G                         Em               C              D 
Have you ever watched the sunrise turn the sky completely red? 
G                         Em               C              D 
Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your bed? 
       C                   D                  G             Em 
Do you sit and talk with friends though not a word is ever said? 
C                             D                 G 
Then you're just like me and you've been on the loose 

G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to climb a mountain, on the loose where I am free 
G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be 
       C                   D                  G             Em 
For I've only got a moment and this whole world yet to see 
C                   D                 G 
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose 

verse 2 
G                         Em               C              D 
There's a trail that I'll be hiking just to see where it might go 
G                         Em               C              D 
Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know 
       C                   D                  G             Em 
And in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow 
C                         D                 G 
On a trail that's waiting out there on the loose 

G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to climb a mountain, on the loose where I am free 
G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be 
    C                   D                  G             Em 
For I've only got a moment and this whole world yet to see 
C                       D            G 
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose 

verse 3 
G                         Em               C              D 
So in search of love and laughter I'll be traveling 'cross this land 
G                         Em               C              D 
Never sure of where I'm going for I haven't any plan 
       C                   D                  G             Em 
And in time when you are ready, come and join me, take my hand 
C                             D                  G 
And together we'll share life out there on the loose 

G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to climb a mountain, on the loose where I am free 
G                         Em               C              D 
On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be 
   C                   D                  G             Em 
For I've only got a moment and this whole world yet to see 
C                     D               G 
I'll be looking for tomorrow on the loose 

verse 4 
G                         Em               C              D 
As I sit and watch the sunset and the daylight slowly fades 
G                         Em               C              D 
I am thinking of tommorow and the friendships we have made 
   C                   D                  G             Em 
I will value them for always and I hope you'll do the same 
C                       D              G 
And forever we'll explore life on the loose
