More Than America: From Here to Eternity the Musical Lyrics by Tim Rice Music by Stuart Brayson N.B (The 'Em's in the verses can be substituted for 'G's & the 'Bm's in the third line of the verses can be substituted for 'D's). [Intro] D Dsus4
D Dsus2  D Dsus2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2
[Verse 1]
  D                          C
I never knew a moment, could close on me like this,

   Bm                  A          D
To fool me, this could be forever more.

    D                              C
Yet somehow all my confidence, and somehow all my dreams, 

    Bm                 A            D
Are flooding back like waves upon a shore.

  G                      D
I don't know where we're going,

      G                 D
But I know the road too well.

    Bm           G               A
The secrecy, the enchantment the hell.
[Instrumental]
D  G  x2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2
[Verse 2]
          D                           Em           A
There are moments in a lifetime, very sudden, very few,

          Bm                                   G            A
When your life's laid out before you, reaching far into the blue,

           F#m                            G              A
Don't look back; that part is over, and tomorrow's crazy too,

        Em            A             G A       D
And our world is much more than A - me - ri - ca.
[Instrumental]
D Dsus2 x2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2
[Verse 3]
        D                     Em            
I could stay wrapped up in my safe and cosy shell,

      Bm                          G              A
Never venture over borders, never risk another's health,

         F#m                        G            A
But it's hard to be a stranger on a crowded carousel,

          Em           A             G A       D
When your home is much more than A - me - ri - ca.
[Chorus]
           G      D              G      Bm
More than Ame - rica, God bless Ame - rica

         Em   Bm          Em  A       D
But it's far away, it's a li- fetime away.
[Instrumental]
D  Dsus2  x2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2
[Verse 4]
  D                         Em               A
I had my game plan sorted, around to show my way(?).

    Bm                         G          A
No emotional distraction, that is until today,

          F#m                                         G           A
Who would think we'd think we'd find an answer, on an island far away,

         Em            A             G A       D
Where we found we need more than A - me - ri - ca.
[Chorus]
           G      D              G      D/F#
More than Ame - rica, more than Ame - rica

         Em   Bm          Em  A       D
It's so far away, it's a li- fetime away. x2
[Instrumental]
D  G  x2
(Alo-aloha-aloha, from Waikiki) x2
D G x2 [Chorus]
           G      D              G      Bm
More than Ame - rica, more than Ame - rica

        Em   Bm           Em      G    A   D
It's so far away, it's a li- fe - time a - way.
