[G#] _ _
[F] The distant _ [A#m] horizon [F] can be quite [F#] surprising.
[D#] But only the journey [G#] is through. _ _
[C#] With all of its glories [F#] and all of [F#m] its falls,
it [C#] seems life [G#] is a [C#] bittersweet _ [G#] waltz. _
_ [C#] Some say [G#] the grass is [C#] much _ _ [F#] _

[G#] _ _
[F] If that's your [A#m] objective, _ [F] beware of [F#] perspective.
_ [D#] _ Illusions don't always [G#] make _ sense. _
[C#] With all of its glories [F#] and all of [F#m] its falls,
[C#] it seems life [G#] is a _ [C#] bittersweet _ _ [G#] waltz.
