_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You think you had a nice [G] laugh, now you know this can't [D] be true.
Even though the [A] sunshine down upon you [G] now, sometimes must feel [D] blue.
Make the best of each new [G] day, try not to be [D] sad.
Even though [A] the sky falls down upon you, [G] call it midnight, feel [D] it now.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] When you wake up to [G] the promise of [D] your dream world [G] coming true.
[D] With one last friend to call on, [G] there's someone that I [D] knew.
[E] Away [G] we'll go sailing in a race among the ruins.
[D] The plan is tomorrow, [G] he lives soon.

The road to the mizlitter with [G] the thoughts of other [D] ones.
Who [A] by the magic of the moment [G] were mysteriously [D] undone.
You try to understand it, [G] but you never seem [D] to find it.
The time [A] of freedom coming clean [G] is just another state [D] of mind.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ When [A] you wake up to [G] the promise [D] of your dream world [G] coming true.
[D] One last friend to call on, [G] there's someone that I [D] knew.
_ [A] Away we'll [G] go sailing in [D] a race [G] among the ruins.
[D] The plan is tomorrow, he [G] lives soon.

_ _ _ So take the best of all that's [G] left, you know this cannot [D] last.
Even though your [A] mother was your maker, [G] from her apron [D] strings you passed.
Just think about the fool who [G] flies, virtue can [D] be found in a most [A] unusual _ situation.
[G] Say his gesture to [D] the clouds.
