Start Jamming...
I can't touch the clouds for you, I never reached the [C] sun for you
I never done the things that you [F] need done for you
I stretched as high as I can reach, I guess I'm not [Bb] the one for you
[C] Cause I can't touch the clouds or [F] reach the sun for you
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the [F] sun
I can't turn back time for you and make you sweet [C] sixteen again
I can't turn your barren fields [F] to green again
[G] And [F] I won't sit around and talk of how things [Bb] might have been again
[C] No I can't turn [G] back time and [Bb] make you [F] young again
I [C] can't turn [Bb] back time and make [F] you young
[C] I hope you find somebody who [Bb] can do the things [F] I didn't do
[Bb] And find the road [F] I didn't find [C] and build a [F] brighter world for you
I hope you find somebody bold [Bb] enough to reach [F] and take a hold
[Bb] And guide your ever [F] changing mind [Bb] and free your ever [C] rising soul
[Bb] But I can't, [C] no I can't
[F] I can't look inside your mind and see the things [C] you're hoping for
And I can't help you chase the dream [F] you're groping for
You say your arms are open wide, but Lord knows who [Bb] they're open for
[C] No I can't know your [Bb] mind or chase your [F] dreams with you
[C] I can't chase your [D] dreams or know your [F] mind
[G]
So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy [D] days with you
Sorry I can't be the one who [G] stays with you
And when they ask about me, you can say I was the [C] one with you
[A]
[D] Never touch the [C] clouds or reach [G] the sun with you
[D] No I can't reach the [C] clouds or touch the [G] sun
I guess it's [D] done
I can't touch [G] the sun for you
Oh, oh, [D] oh
I can't touch [G] the sun, I can't, no, I can't
[D] Oh, oh, oh
Oh [G] no, I can't [D] touch the sun
No, no, [G] no
Oh, oh, oh
[D] No, [G] I can't
