[Bm] [C]
[D] People who [G] think they [Bm] can
I [C]

[C] I wanna [Cm] be
Not so [G] far [F#m] away
[C] From [G] where I plan to be by now
[D] [C] Time [G] has a bad habit of flying
I was sleeping [C] when it passed [G] me [Cm] by
I was dreaming of what [Bm] I would wear
When [F] I got there
[F#]
[G] It's [F#] not [G] easy [C] being green
In [G] a world you have to tread on other [D] people
[G]
Just [C] to find a place [G] to put your wares on show
It's not [C] required that [G] you sing, write or play
You just wear [F#m] the [G] tightest one
And you smile in that certain way
And think you [F#m] can

And when it matters most
