I [F#]
[C#] am sensitive about my height.
I will look around and say,
[G#] [C#]
I thought I was immune.
All my life, [D#]
[F] I [G#] have waited
to [F#] be given any [Fm] word.
I'm [D#m]
[A#m] screaming to [C#] be [Fm] heard.
[G#]
[F#] [C#] [F#] [G#]
[F#] The earth [C#] can be [F#] any shape you [G#] want it,
[F#] [C#] [F#] any [G#] shape at [F#] all.
[C#] [F#] Bright and [G#] cold or dark [F#] and warm,
long or thin [G#] or small,
[F#] but it's all I want.
[G#]
[F#] Don't [G#] ever have [F#] [C#] [F#] to lay [G#] me away [F#] from me,
the earth is fine.
[G#]
[F#] [D] [Em]
[D] Yes, on a lonely [Bm] island,
[B]
in the midst of a vast [G] ocean,
[Am]
[F#m] as the [E] great beacon light of hope,
[A] [F#] the joyous daybreak,
[E] [F#m] the fierce urgency of now,
[D#] [C#] [A#m]
[C#] then when they spill the demon sea,
[F#]
turn and face into the [C#] wind,
all along you still believe,
[G#] [C#]
believe you were immune.
And if [D#] love's
[D#m] all [G#] you're missing,
[F#] look into your heart,
[D#m]
is [A#] anybody [C#] home?
[Fm] [A#]
[A#m] [C#] [F#] [G#]
[F#] The earth can be any shape you want [G#] it,
[F#] yeah, [C#] [F#] any in the [G#]
world.
[F#] Don't you point [G#] that ray gun at [F#] me, Joe,
I might just [G#] explode.
[F#] There are stones
[G#]
[F#] buried [G#] in the [F#] soil,
and only [G#] a fool would [F#] blame the devil [C#] of [F#] rock and roll,
[G#]
[F#] said, and in time,
[G#]
[F#] [C#] [F#] come to [G#]
[F#] understand,
the spot of [G#]
love is [F#] in your [C#] [F#] gentle hands.
[G#]
[F#] I [C#]
still have a dream.
