[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ This is a story [D#] about [B] life, [G] _ mostly [C#] about my [Gm] life.
[C] And oh, people, I want to share [G] it with you. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ If in some [D#] way I can help someone, _ _ [G] maybe someone is [C#] lost, needs to see the light.
[C] Oh, listen, people, _ [E] part of the story, [G] a life's hard to write. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
[Em] Getting down, we never [C] said we couldn't.
Getting down, long as we're at it, [G] make the fun somehow.
_ _ [D] Getting [Em] down, we never [C] said we couldn't.

[Em] _ [D] _ [F#m] Listen, [Bm] listen, and [C] honestly, [F#] [G] we should get on.
[Bm] _ [Em] And I'm sure the truth will [D] _ [F#m] listen [Bm] and _ [A] _
see.
_ _ _ And your life will be something greater than you ever expected to [Em] be.
[A] Oh, [D] oh, [F#m] oh, [Bm] dear me, [C] there's an only [G] thing missing in [Bm] me.

I [G] believe I [D] can dream [Em] come [D] true someday.
