Capo1  

Intro - | G | G | C  C/B | Am | 

G 
 I've got more dreams 
           C    C/B   Am 
Than I can take         At one time 
G 
 I can't seem to settle down 
                  C    C/B   Am 
I can't seem to relax          In My mind 

Bm 
 Without a place to rest, 
                   Am 
Without a place to hide, to hideaway 
Bm                                      Am 
 But it's not over yet, I'm only passing time 
C             D  
 Just getting by 

G 
 Names from the past 
             C    C/B  Am 
But that was half       My life ago 
G 
 I don't want to let them down 
                 C    C/B   Am 
But I think it's time,        I let them go 

Bm                   
 To find some place to rest 
                 Am  
Somewhere in My mind, and hideaway 
Bm 
 I don't want to forget,  
                       Am 
But I've spent so much time         
C             D  
 Just getting by.... 

| G | G | 
... 

C             C/B            Am 
 The roughest ride is always in the clouds 
Em                            D 
  And that's where We've been flying 
 Am 
Too high 
  A         D            
Too high   Ahh.. Ha.... 
C                   G .. 
  We've got to come down 

... | G | C C/B | Am | 
                   Sometime 
| G | G | C C/B | Am | 

G 
 So much to think about 
           C     C/B    Am 
Before Our days          Just slip away 
G 
 I wish there was so much more 
             C    C/B    Am 
That I could do            For You 

Bm 
 With one more eye to catch 
                     Am     
And one more name to sign,You're on Your way 
Bm 
 But it's not over yet,  
                   Am 
We're only passing time, 
C             D 
 Just getting by  

| G | G | C  C/B | Am | 
                   Just getting by 

| G | G | C  C/B | Am  G ..
