[Em] I didn't want [Bm] it to burst [C] and I [G] said, all right.
_ _ _ You [C] said you live [D] each day [Am] like the very [Em] last one.
_ _ _ _ _ So I took [Bm] that down [C] and [D] I wrote [G] this song.
It said, _ [Am] it's all [D] in the air.
[G] It's a lie, lie, [C] imagine.
_ [Am] Make room for [D] the _ best that [Em] we have.
[Bm] _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] You [Am] said, _ still, [D] you _ won't.
[G] But something's bound [C] to happen.
_ [Am] So I just shook his hand.
_ [D] Got about my plan.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
So [Em] I rode [Bm] my bike [C] up the [G] Sycamore Hill.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] I fought hard, [Bm] I fought long [C] on the [G] right wing. _ _
I _ _ [C] had a lot [D] of fun [F#] with a long [Em]-legged girl. _ _ _
_ _ And we threw [Bm] our arms [C] around [G] this humdrum world. _ _ _ _
[Am] It's all [D] in the _ [G] air.
It's a lie, lie, [C] imagine.
_ _ Make room [D] for the best that [Em] we have. _ _ _ _
[D] [Am] You said, _ still, [D] you _ [G] won't.
_ Something's bound [C] to happen.
_ _ [Am] Forget about those plans.
_ [D] _ The future's here at _ [C] last.

_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, [Em] it's been several months and [G] months and years.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] But [Bm] children have grown [C] and I'm [G] still standing here. _
_ _ _ _ [C] I still live [Am] each day like a [D] very [Em] last one. _ _
_ _ I rise [Bm] with the birds [C] and I [G] set with the sun. _ _ _ _ _
[Am] It's all _ [D] in the _ [G] air.
It's a lie, lie, [C] imagine.
_ [Am] Make room [D] for the _ best that [Em] we have.
