C#m

[Verse 1]
C#m
30 hour flight in a dingy dirigible
C#m
In a cloudy sky where the land wasn't visable
F#m
Sat a quiet man so focused
C#m
Just ahd one thought in his brain
G#7
Nathaniel knew what he had to do
     A            G#7              C#m
He had to find a way to kill the pain

C#m
For years he had searched to improve his condition
C#m
He had pain in his eyes and it clouded his vision
F#m                                    C#m
Spending all his time and money it was driving him insane
G#7
Well, he swore up and down ha search the world around
A                 G#7               C#m
Until his sweet relief could be attained

C#m
When he heard of a man with a treatment
C#m
An experimental method that could cure him if he went
F#m                                       C#m
So Nathaniel headed there with eyes fixed firmly on the prize
         G#7
And when everything was done
        G#7
All his pain was finally gone... but
A
Then so were his eyes

[Chorus 1]
C#m
Well...
C#m
That's alright, that's OK
F#m                                  C#m
Don't you know you'll live to fight another day
A
Use a little grease, make sure you never cease
G#
To keep your wheels turning in the proper way

C#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
C#m
ah-ah-ah
F#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
G#               C#m
Ah-yeah

[Verse 2]
C#m
So he carried on, even though he was eyeless
C#m
And he learned how to write with a slate and a stylus
F#m                                           C#m
There was nothing in this world that he would let stand in his way
G#
He was strong, he was proud, he let nothing get him down
A                     G#             C#m
His drive was getting bolder every day
  C#m
He could sail through the sky with precision
C#m
He could sense where he was even though he lost his vision
F#m                                          C#m
But the one thing that he couldn't see was something yet to come
G#
As he tightened his grip on a rope is
                   A                  G#
when it slipped and then he lost his thumbs

[Chorus 2]
Well...
C#m
That's alright, that's OK
F#m                                 C#m
Don't you know you'll live to fight another day
A
Use a little grease, make sure you never cease
G#
To keep your wheels turning in the proper way

C#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
C#m
ah-ah-ah
F#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
G#               C#m
yeah-yeah

[Verse 3]
N.C
But..
C#m
Still he endured, he was fully determined
C#m
He would search for a cure and his passion was burning
F#m                                 C#m
as he spent his every moment doing research for the cause
G#
He would try, he would fail
G#
he would write his notes in braille
A                   G#
and he would make improvements on
           C#m
his flaws,
       C#m
Others laughed, no one thought he could do it
C#m
people said he should quit, but he kept stickin' to it
F#m                                  C#m
He refused to let his handicaps make him feel insecure
G#
And though everybody scoffed all his dilligence paied off when he
A                 G#
finally found the cure!

[Bridge]
C#m
So never give up
N.C
Never never give up
N.C
No, never give up
N.C
Never never give up
G#
NO!

[Chorus 3]
C#m
That's alright, that's OK
F#m                                 C#m
Don't you know you'll live to fight another day
A
Use a little grease, make sure you never cease
G#
To keep your wheels turning in the proper way

[Outro]
C#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
C#m
ah-ah-ah
F#m
Ooh-way Ooh-way
G#               C#m
yeah-yeah
