Em       F          G            Am G
  Just a day just an ordinary day

Em        F          G Am G
  Just trying to get by

Em       F          G            Am
  Just a boy just an ordinary boy

G  Em       F       G
but  he was looking to the sky and
[Verse 2]
Em     F        G       Am
  As he asked if I would  come

     Em          F     G   Am G
along  I started to realize

Em          F            G
  That everyday he finds just

          Am
what he's looking for

Em           F
  And like a shooting star

G
  he shines and he said
[Chorus 1]
Em    F   G   Am G
  Take my hand

Em     F     G      Am G
  Live while you can

Em         F         G
  Don't you see your dreams

    Am    Em     F
lie right in the palm

  F
of your hand?
[Post Chorus] Em F G Am G Em F G [Verse 3]
Em           F
  And as he spoke he

     G              Am G
spoke ordinary words

Em       F           G    Am G
  Though they did not feel

Em    F             G
  For I felt what I had not

     Am G   Em
felt be-fore  And you'd swear

F            G          Am G
  those words could heal   and
[Verse 4]
Em    F         G    Am
  As I looked up into  those

    Em          F       G    Am G
eyes  his vision borrows mine

Em      F             G
  And I know he's no stranger

    Am         Em         F
For I feel I've  held him for

       G
all of time and he said
[Chorus 2]
Em    F   G   Am G
  Take my hand

Em     F     G      Am G
  Live while you can

Em         F         G
  Don't you see your dreams

    Am    Em     F
lie right in the palm

  F          Am G
of your hand?

Em      F
  in the palm

  G
of your hand

Time will not flee

C    Dm  G
Can you see?
[Verse 5]
Em       F            G
  Just a dream just an ordinary

     Am G Em    F        G  Am G
dream       As I wake in bed

Em        F       G            Am
  And the boy that ordinary boy

G Em       F        G     Am G
Or  was it all in my head?
[Verse 6]
Em         F      G
  Didn't he ask if I

     Am
would  come along?

Em      F          G   Am G
  It all seemed so real

Em         F             G
  But as I looked to the door

      Am      Em         F
I saw that boy  standing there

      G
with a deal and he said
[Chorus 3]
Em    F   G   Am G
  Take my hand

Em     F     G      Am G
  Live while you can

Em         F         G
  Don't you see your dreams

    Am    Em     F
lie right in the palm

  F          Am G
of your hand?

Em      F
  in the palm

  G
of your hand

Em      F
  in the palm

  G
of your hand
