[E] [F] Just a day, [G] just an [F] ordinary [E] day
[F] Just trying [G] to get [F] by
[C] Just a boy, just an [F] ordinary [C] boy
But he was looking to [F] the [C] sky
And as he asked if [Am] I would [C] come along
[F] I started [C] to [F] realize
[C] That every day he finds just [Am] what he's [Em] looking for
[C] Like a shooting star, he shined, [C] he said
Take [G] my [Am] [C] hand
[F] Spend [G] what [Am] you can
[C] [F] Don't you [C] see you're in dreams I write in a palm of your [F] hand
[G] [F] [C] [F] [G] [C]
As he spoke, he spoke [F] ordinary [C] words
Oh, though they did not [F] feel [C] no how
For I felt what I [F] had not felt [C] before
[F] And you'd swear [C] those words [F] couldn't [E] heal
As [F] he looked [C] [Am] up into [C] those [F] eyes
And vision [C] more of [F] his mind
[Em] [C] In the now, [G] he's no [Am] stranger
I [Em] feel I've [F] healed him, but [G] all of time, he [C] said
Take my [F] hand
[C] [F] Take [C] him [E] now
[F] Don't you [C] see you're in dreams I write [F] in a [C] palm of [Am] your hand
[C] Now, in a [G] palm of your [C] [Dm] hand
[C] [F]
[C] Come, [Dm] [C] [F] [C] [Dm] [C] [F]
[C] [Dm] [C] [D] please [G] come [C] with me
[F] See what [C] I see
[D] Touch [G] the [C] stars for [G] time [Bm] will [C] not sleep
[G] Time will [C] not sleep
[G] Can you see?
[C] Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
[Fm] As I [C] awake in bed
And the boy that had ordinary boy
Was it all [F] in my [C] head?
Then he asked [Am] if I would [C] come along
[F] It all [C] seemed so [F] real
[C] But as I looked to the [Am] door, I saw [C] that boy
Standing [G] there with a deal, and [C] he said
Take [G] my [Am] hand
[C] [F] Take [C] [F] him [C] now
[F] Don't you [C] see you're [Am] in dreams I [C] write [F] in a [C] palm [Am] of your hand
[C] Now, [F] in a [G] palm [Am] of your hand
[C] Now, [F] in a [G] palm of your [C] hand
[F]
[C] Come, [F] [C]
please come with me
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to [F] get by
[C] Just a boy, just an [F] ordinary [C] boy
But [F] he was [C] looking to the sky
