[C] _ _ I pictured [G] a rainbow _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] you held in your [F] hands.
_ I [G] had flashes but [F] _ _ _ [G] you saw the plan.
[C] I wandered out in [G] the world for years [C] _ while _ [G] you just stayed in [F] your room.
I saw the [G] present.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ You saw the whole of [C] the world. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ You [G] _ [C] _ [F] _
[C] were there in a turnstile with a wind at your heels.
You stood for the stars.
You know how it [F] feels to get too high, _ [G] too [F] far, too soon.
[G] You saw [F] the whole of [C] the world.
I was grounded _ while _ _ _ you filled the [F] skies.
I was _ [Dm] dumbfounded by truth.
[F] _ _ _ [Dm] You cut through life.
[C] I saw the ringed dirty valley. _
_ You _ _ _ saw [F] Brigadoon.
I saw the presents. _
_ _ _ _ You saw the [C] whole of the world. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ I spoke about [G] wings. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] You just flew.
[F] I wondered, I guessed, and then [C] I tried. _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Em] You just [C] flew.
I sighed.
_ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] But [C] you [Dm] swooned.
[F] I saw the presents again. _ _
_ _ You _ saw the whole of [C] the world.
_ The _ [F] whole of the world.
_ _ [G] _ _
Put [C] a torch in your pocket and a wind at your heels.
You climbed on the ladder.
You know how it feels to [F] get too high, _ [G] too [F] far, too soon.
_ [G] You [F] saw the whole of the [C] world.
_ _ _ The [F] whole of the world.
_ Hey, look _ [C] at your decor and some cannonballs.
Look at what else is in here.
Chuck the stars and stars wide open so tears [F] can crash.
Crash dirty boats, settle back in stars.
Every pressure, keen on vision underneath the stars.
Yes, [C] you climbed on the ladder.
With a wind in your sails, you came right up.
_ [G] Blaze in your [F] jails.
You climbed on the ladder.
You know how it feels to get too high, [C] too [F] far, too soon.
[C] You saw the whole of the world.
