G         C           G                      D
The picture I have is you standing in front of a lake
G                                   C
There’s sun on your face and you’re smiling a way
     G            D       G
That really gives nothing away

G                   C             G                    D
Just judging by the shadows, it’s noon or maybe one or two
               G                        C
You’ve got the rest of the day and your whole life to play
        G        D          G
And the world is waiting on you

      G                   C          G                    D
But I really just can’t remember the night that you went away
   G                    C
It happened so fast, so long in the past
G                    D           G
Did I ever know this girl by the lake?
      G             D           G
Did I even know the girl by the lake?

[Chorus]
C             G           D           G
To live is to fly and I’m learning to try
    C              G          D
But sometimes it’s all such a chore
       C              G        D                G
If the breeze doesn’t come and clouds block the sun
       C           G         D
You’ve got to work harder to soar

G                     C               G                          D
We’re all here just a dancing like we know what we are trying to do
        G                        C
But the fact is you can’t so you dance and you dance
        G               D        G
Keep on moving till the music is through

        G                          C        G                     D
There’s nothing that says that you have to, no rules that say you must
         G                       C
And what may seem unfair is just fates way of daring
   G      D            G
Us all to learn how to trust

[Chorus]
     C        G                 D                      G
It’s sun on a butterfly’s wings stretching them out to dry
      C         G             D
And a breeze to help with the chore
           C              G        D                G
But if the breeze doesn’t come and clouds block the sun
       C           G         D
You’ve got to work harder to soar.

         G         C           G                      D
Well the picture I have is you standing in front of a lake
        G                           C
There’s sun on your face and you’re smiling a way
     G            D       G
That really gives nothing away

G                    D           G
Did I ever know this girl by the lake?
G                    D           G
Did I even know the girl by the lake?
