[E] In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby, in this world there's a whole lot of pain.
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, but a whole lot of ground to gain.
Why take when you could be given?
Why watch as the world goes by?
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly?

There's a star on the [B] far horizon, [C#m] rising [B] bright in [E] an azure sky.
[F#] For the [B] rest of the time that [E] you're given, [G#m] why walk when you [E] can fly?
