[Verse]
         G                     B7
I’m gonna come to your window, knock
 upon your pane
C7                              
stand back in the moonlight and sing
A7
 your name
     G                    D
Turn your television off, it’s just 
showbiz
C                                
Step out here with me, where the 
A7
real show is
       G               D          
It’s a great big world, life down 
        G    C  G  D
here on earth

G                          B7
Let me introduce you to my carnival 
of friends
     C7                            
They come from all four corners, on
 A7
 all four winds
G                         D
Thieves up in the castle, kings out 
in the rain

C                                 
Saints down in the trenches, 
   A7
they’re fighting for a change
           G               D   
And it’s a great big world, life 
               G    C  G  D
down here on earth


[Bridge]
C7                           G   
Baby take a mad dash with me, 
                                G7
we’re gonna give it all we’re worth
A7
Come down from your tower, there‘s 
so much here to see
D tacit           D tacit           
   G    C  G  D
  Life down here,    life down here 
on earth


[Verse]
       G                          
We got headlights on the highway, 
B7
stars up in the sky
C7                        A7
Got a sparkle in my eyes, don’t you 
want to know why?
  G                          D
I killed a lot of time, that was my 
greatest sin
C                          A7
But I forgave myself, and I’m alive 
again
           G             D        
And it’s a big old world, life 
          G    C G D
down here on earth


[Bridge/Outro]
                 G                 
There’s gonna be two dates on your 
           B7
tombstone, all your friends will 
read ‘em
    C7                             
But all that’s gonna matter is that
 A7
 little dash between ‘em
           G               D   
Yes it’s a great big world, life 
               G    C  D
down here on earth
           G               D      
Well it’s a big old world, life 
           G    C G D G
down here on earth
