              C  Fmaj7   C
I'm workin' on the high   hope

              C   Fmaj7     C         Em7
And if it all works out, you might just see me

   Am            Gsus        Fmaj7
Or hear from me in a while

                      C        Fmaj7   C
I'm gonna make it across this tight rope

               C   Fmaj7
And I'm comin' for my prize

C                Em7
No more I'll be waitin' 'round

    Am            Gsus        Fmaj7
While life just passes by

[Bridge]

Gsus                   Fmaj7
Maybe when our hearts realign

Gsus                    Fmaj7
Maybe when we've both had some time

          C
I'm gonna see you there

   |---muted strum---|
I'm gonna see you there,

[Chorus]

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

                         C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
Where we can be natural, lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

[Verse]

                 C   Fmaj7       C
'Cause I've been livin' in the half life

              C        Fmaj7      
Not sure which way to turn

C       Em7          Am
Why must a man lose everything

Gsus         Fmaj7
To find out what he wants

                 C   Fmaj7       C
I'm gonna wait until it feels right

                 C   Fmaj7   
And when that time has come

C       Em7          Am
Wild horses won't keep me back

Gsus         Fmaj7
From where you have gone

[Bridge]

Gsus                   Fmaj7
Maybe when we're both old and wise

Gsus                   Fmaj7
Maybe when our hearts have had some time

          C
I'm gonna see you there

N.C I'm gonna see you there, [Chorus] From here on out he does his Glen thing and brings the house down...

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

                         C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
Where we can be natural, lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

Fmaj7
After all we've seen

Fmaj7
We can do anything,

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

Fmaj7
Where your heart is strong

Fmaj7
Where we can go on and on,

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

Fmaj7
Where your good times gone

Fmaj7
Where we are forever young,

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay---ay---ayy---ayy----ayyyy

Fmaj7
Where your heart is strong

Fmaj7
Where we can go on and on,

C     Em7  Am    Gsus   Fmaj7
lay, lay!
