[Intro]
[Am7/E] [Bm/F#] [Em] [C/G] [D/F#] [G] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [C/G] [G] [C/G] [G] [D/F#] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [C/G] [G] [C/G] [G] [D/F#] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Am7/E] [Bm/F#] [C/G] [Am7/E] [Bm/F#] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [C/G] [Em] [D/F#] [Em]

[Am7/E]Every cloud has [Bm/F#]a silver line
[Em]But you still need [C/G]the moon to shine
[D/F#]And we don't [G]care about it
[Em]Is there something [D/F#]that you forgot
[G]And you wish you [C/G]could stop the clock
[Em]Because you can't [D/F#]live without it?
[Em]We don't [D/F#]have a clue
[G]'Cause we're [C/G]three miles high
[Em]And we'd rather as [D/F#]dust and feathers fly
[C/G]And we [G]can't climb down
[C/G]'Cause we'd burst our [G]little bubble on the ground
[D/F#]Whoa-ooh-oh
[C/G]Everyone has a [Em]wall to climb
[D/F#]But we don't [G]really have the time
[C/G]To give a [Em]who, how about it?
[D/F#]And your life [Em]is a Russian doll
[D/F#]You were given [G]when you were small
[C/G]And they're [Em]all inside you
[D/F#]But we don't [C/G]have a clue
[G]'Cause we're [C/G]three miles high
[G]And we'd rather as [D/F#]dust and feathers fly
[C/G]And we [Em]can't climb down
[D/F#]'Cause we'd burst our [G]little bubble on the ground
[C/G]Oh, and we [Em]won't come down
[D/F#]Till we [Em]hit the ground
[D/F#]'Cause we're [G]three miles high
[C/G]And we'd rather as [Em]dust and feathers fly
[D/F#]And we [Am7/E]can't climb down
[Bm/F#]'Cause we'd burst our [C/G]little bubble on the ground
[Am7/E]Whoa-ooh-oh
