Passing Through

G  C  G  D  G

[Verse 1]
       G                  C       
We are passing this world on to 
  G
our kids
         C                         
From the moment that they climb out
          Am
 of their cribs
       D
And we try to teach them well and 
show them they are loved
           C                    
But in the end all we can do, is 
          D
hope our best is good enough
            G                    
For they'll witness how this life 
           G7
can be so beautiful and cruel
         C                         
We can't shelter them forever, but 
      C#dim7
if we show them all the tools
           D                     
They might leave this place in a 
D#dim7        Em                C
little better shape than me and you
G      D            G
We are only passing through


[Chorus]
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      A7           D
We are only passing through
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      D            G
We are only passing through

[Verse 2]
               G                   
And we've been watching this world 
C               G
from our living rooms
               C                   
It's been near forty years since we
               Am
 walked on the moon
         D
And this big blue ball keeps 
shrinking and I don't know if that's
 good
        C                       
But for better or for worse now, 
            D
this whole world's our neighbourhood
        G                      
There's no place left to run to 
               G7
where you can stay above the fray
       C                         
We all learn to need to get along 
         C#dim7
and not just get our way
    D             D#dim7          
Not only for each other but for 
  Em                  C
our children's children too
G      D            G
We are only passing through


[Chorus]
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      A7           D
We are only passing through
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      D            G
We are only passing through


[Verse 3]
  G                C              
I wonder sometimes what I will 
  G
pass on
        C                          
And how much can one voice do with 
       Am
just a song
            D
Sometimes injustice and indifference
 are the only things I see
        C                          
But I refuse to let my hope become 
    D
the latest casualty
        G                          
So I'll sing of love and truth and 
       G7
try to practice all I preach
       C                        
And if I can't change the world, 
                 C#dim7
I'll change the world within my 
reach
         D               D#dim7   
And what better place to start 
           Em              C
than here and now with me and you
G      D            G
We are only passing through


[Chorus]
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      A7           D
We are only passing through
        G                C
Passing through, passing through
G      D            G
We are only passing through
