In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this [N] world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be given?
Why watch as the world goes by?
It's a hard enough life to be living
Why [Abm] walk when you can fly?

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In [B] this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
[Abm] And a whole lot of [B] ground to gain
[E] When you spend your [B] whole life wishing
Wanting and [E] wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living
[Abm] Why walk when [E] you can fly?

[Gb] In this world [E] there's a whole lot of [Bbm] golden
In this world [E] there's a whole lot of [B] flame
In this world you've a soul for a compass
[Abm] And a heart for a [E] pair of wings
There's a star on the [B] far horizon
[Db] Glistening bright in an [E] azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given
[Abm] Why walk when [E] you can fly?
