Passing Through

D A D D

[Verse 1]
       D            G             
We are passing this world on to 
  D
our kids
         G             D/F#       
From the day when they climb from 
      Em
their cribs
      A
We'll try and teach them well, show 
them that they're loved
           G                       
But in the end all we can do is 
      A
hope our best was good enough
        D                          
They'll witness how this life can 
     D7
be so beautiful and cruel
         G                         
We can't shelter them forever but 
                       E
if we show them all the tools
           A                     
They might leave this world in a 
A#dim7        Bm                G
little better shape than me and you
D      A            D
We are only passing through

[Chorus]
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      E            A
We are only passing through
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      A            D
We are only passing through

[Verse 2]
       D             G            
We are watching this world from 
  D
our living rooms
     G                 D/F#       
Near forty years since we walked 
      Em
on the moon
     A
This big blue ball is shrinking and 
I don't know if that's good
        G                          
But for better or for worse now 
        A
this whole world is our neighborhood
             D                   
And there is no place left to run 
    D7
to,  to stay above the fray
G                                  
  We better learn to get along not 
E
just to get our way
    A             A#dim7        
Not only for each other but our 
Bm                  G
children's children too
D      A            D
We are only passing through

[Chorus]
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      E            A
We are only passing through
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      A            D
We are only passing through

[Verse 3]
      D                G          
And I wonder sometimes what will I
      D
 pass on
    G                  D/F#       
How much can one voice do with 
    Em
just a song
            A
Sometimes injustice and indifference
 are all that I see
        G                          
But I refuse to let my hope become 
    A
the latest casualty
        D                          
So I'll sing of love and truth and 
       D7
try to practice what I preach
   G                             
If I can't change the world, I'll 
            E
change the world within my reach
     A               A#dim7       
What better place to start than 
       Bm              G
here and now with me and you
D      A            D
We are only passing through

[Chorus]
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      E            A
We are only passing through
        D                D7       
Passing through (passing through),
         G
 passing through
D      A            Bm      G
We are only passing through
D      A            D
We are only passing through
