C G
Everybody could see the writing
Dm7 G
That was scrawled on the wall.
C G
Everybody was caught up fighting
Dm7 G
‘Bout what it meant for us all.
Am7 D
Everybody could see
Am7 D
And reacted determinably,
Dm7 G
Doing all that they could
Dm7 G
And nothing that they tried ever wound up good.
(Chorus)
C G
I want to live in a bigger world.
Am F
I want to fly ‘neath the stars.
C G
I want to live in a constant whirl
Am F
On an orbit to Mars.
C G
I want to live in a bright tomorrow
Am D
In a place that I’m learning to see.
F C
I want to touch all the places I know.
G F/G
I want to take you with me.
Everybody had all the answers
To questions they did not understand.
Everybody thought that they moved like dancers
As they waltzed through their plans.
Everyone had a song
And all of the notes that they played were wrong,
Each one in their own key
As they performed cacophonously.
(Bridge)
Am7
I don’t need a master plan
G
From someone who can’t understand
F E7
The way that all the systems interleave.
Am7
I thought it might be understood
C
That we might all survive with good,
D F
That best is just a fairy tale in which we can’t believe.
Everybody is still a debtor
To everything that happened before.
Everybody wants something better.
Everybody wants more.
Everyone wants it all
And everybody here’s setting up for the fall.
We can tear it all down,
But what will we do when the dark comes around?
(Chorus twice)
C G
I want to touch all the places I know.
F/G G
I want to take you with me.
