G A
I wish we had a crystal ball that we could ask what we should do
Am D
A Technicolor movie featuring the tale of me and you
G A
And if the rearview mirror showed us how and where we went astray
Am D N.C.
Would we keep heading down this road, or would we choose to turn away?
[Chorus]
C G
I'm not here to make you cry
C G
Bring you down or question why
Em
The world is what it is
A
But there's so much more than this
Am7 D
Maybe the way it was has changed
C Cm F G
But you and me, we're still the same
[Verse 2]
G A
What if the Earth refused to turn until we knew its worth?
Am D
If rain refused to fall and the sun hid like some child who had been hurt?
G A
Maybe the truth is only found in ancient scribblings on a wall
Am D N.C.
That told the story of the people and what brought about their fall
[Chorus]
C G
I'm not here to make you cry
C G
To save your soul or watch you die
Em
'Cause this life is what it is
A
But there's so much more than this
Am7 D
Maybe the way it was has changed
C Cm G Bb
But you and me, we're still the same
[Bridge]
C Cm G
Words only get in the way
Bb F
Life's not black or white or gray
D N.C.
It's just a bunch of lovely days
[Chorus]
C G
Well, I'm not here to make you cry
C G
Wake you up or change your mind
Em
You know life is what it is
A
But there's so much more than this
Am7 D
Maybe the way it was has changed
C Cm G
But you and me, we are the same
