I Can't Touch the Sun - Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show written by Shel Silverstein

C
I can't reach the clouds for you,

F
I'll never touch the Sun for you,

I've never done the things

               C
That you need done for you.

I've streached as high as I can reach,

                    F
I guess I'm not the one for you;

      F                                     C
Cause I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun for you.

   F                                  C
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.

C
I can't turn back time for you,

                       F
And make you sweet sixteen again,

And I can't turn your barren fields

    C
To green again.

And I won't sit around and talk

                          F
Of how things might have been again,

   F                                   C
No I can't turn back time and make you young again.

F                                   C
I can't turn back time and make you young.

F
I hope you find somebody who

F                   C
Can do the things I didn't do

F                  C
And find a road I didn't find

F                     F
And build a brighter world for you.

C
I hope you find somebody bold

F                    C
Enough to reach and take a hold

F                     C
And guide your ever changing mind

F                   F
And free your ever rising soul.

F             F
But I can't. No, I can't.

(back to first verse progression) I can't look inside your mind And see the things you're hoping for. And I can't help you chase the dream You're groping for. You say your arms are open wide, But lord knows who they're open for. No, I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you. I can't chase your dreams or know your mind.

D
So say goodbye, and don't look back

                     C
I've had some happy days with you,

F                             C
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you.

And when they ask about me,

                       F
YOu can say I was the one with you

    F                                       C
Who never reached the clouds or touched the sun for you.

    F                                     C
No, I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.

              F
I guess it's done,

                   C
I can't touch the sun for you.

(repeat the last bit as necessary, and have fun. It's a great song on their Sloppy album, or the Shel Silverstein CD)
