A        E/G#
It's not real
D              F#m      E        A
Drowning in an ocean as black as night
       E/G#    D
Summer rain so loud
A             E/G#
It hurts your face so coldly
D              F#m       E         A
Takes away the fury that shines so bright
            E/G#    D
And pushed away the clouds
         F#m                     E
When you think everything's gone wrong
         D                    E
And your feelings are all too strong
A         E/G#
It's bad enough
D                    F#m      E         A
Don't you think it's crazy to just take flight?

[Verse 2]
A       E/G#
This is me
D               F#m         E    A
Burning just as high as the city lights
         E/G#     D
All your wars are won
A          E/G#
There's no talking to you
D             F#m          E         A
All the pages written have turned to white
            E/G#  D
And they've all begun
      F#m                      E
To be something that you can't read
     D                      E
Into something that will succeed
A     E/G#
Say a prayer
D                    F#m        E            A
That's the good news daily, oh, well, that's life

[Chorus 1]
G                               D
Hey, maybe you can't change the world
               A
But don't run away
Em                        D
And don't be so deeply concerned
              C
You own every day
G                                D
Well, maybe you can't change the world
              E    Esus4 E
It's yours anyway

[Verse 3]
A      E/G#
Here today
D                F#m     E        A
Can you feel the power under your skin?
            E/G#  D
Dreams that come alive
A      E/G#
It's a big illusion
D               F#m          E         A
Counting up the favours that you could win
       E/G#     D
If you take the dive
           F#m                     E
That's the chance that we all must take
       D                      E
And be sure that you don't forsake
A     E/G#
So it goes
D              F#m       E         A
Everything without, everything within

[Chorus 2]
G                               D
Hey, maybe you can't change the world
               A
But don't run away
Em                        D
And don't be so deeply concerned
              C
You own every day
        G                                D
Oh yeah yeah, maybe you can't change the world
              E    Esus4 E
It's yours anyway

[Verse 4]
A         E/G#
Life goes on
D            F#m       E       A
Innocent the baby with eyes so clear
       E/G#      D
No one knows his name
A     E/G#
And I swear that's holy
D                  F#m        E       A
Things will be the same for a million years
       E/G#      D
No one takes the blame
        F#m                   E
But the sun will come up each day
        D                   E
And the moon will be on its way
A       E/G#
Rich or poor
D                  F#m         E         A
Well, it's all the same in the valley of tears

[Chorus 3]
G                               D
Hey, maybe you can't change the world
               A
But don't run away
Em                        D
And don't be so deeply concerned
              C
You own every day
   G                                D
Oh yeah, maybe you can't change the world
              E    Esus4 E
It's yours anyway
G                               D
Hey, maybe you can't change the world
               A
But don't run away
Em                        D
And don't be so deeply concerned
              C
You own every day
