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
