[Verse 1]
          F                C              Bb
If you'll step inside this great glass elevator
      F           C              Bb
It'll take us up above the city lights
             F              C             F
To where the planet curves away to the equator
           Bb                 C
I want to show you something fine
       
                 F                  C                  Bb
You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here
             F         C            Bb
A million minuscule decisions in a line
            F           C                   F
Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear
      Bb         C                    C
But that's all right, we've got all night


[Chorus]
                      Bb
Could it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C                  Bb
Were meant to bring you here all along


[Verse 2]
               F                 C                   Bb
So if you'll trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely
         F                C            Bb
I will sing to you with all I have to give
         F                C               F             Bb
If you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play
            C                 C
My biggest hits (that don't exist)

                F              C                  Bb
And if you'll lend to me your ear I'll sing 'em pretty
         F           C               Bb
I will never, ever sing 'em out of tune
            F               C
And I will not forget the words
         F                  Bb
Of any chorus, bridge, or verse
            C   C
I promise you (oooh)


[Chorus]
                      Bb
'Cause it it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C                  Bb
Were meant to bring you here all along


[Bridge]
                  Dm                          C
'Cause we've got Benjamin to play the grand piano
           F                          Bb
If we're lucky it's a little out of tune
           Dm            C              Eb
We've got Andy on the guitar 'cause I promised him
               Bb     F
Some Texas barbecue (yah)

[Verse 3]
        F
How I love to watch you listen to the music
             F                         Bb
'Cause you sing to me a music of your own
      F                  C           Am               Bb
As I cast out all these lines, so afraid that I will find
       C          C
I am alone, all alone


[Chorus]
                      Bb
Well could it be that the many roads
             F
You took to get here
              C                  A
Were just for me to tell this story
         Dm               Bb
And for you to hear this song
                Bb
And your many hopes
                F
And your many fears
                C                  Bb
Were meant to bring you here all along
                   C                  Bb
We were meant to be right here all along
