[Verso 1]
          D                        Cadd9 
Well, the good days taught me many things 
    D              Cadd9 
Without the use of words 
    Em           G               Cadd9    Cadd9 
And that what we reap is what we sow 
    D                Cadd9 
And I thought rising early 
        D             Cadd9 
Was the only thing to do 
Em           G               Cadd9    Cadd9 
Sipping cup, riding with the load

[Verso 2]
D               Cadd9 
This was long before the time 
D            Cadd9 
Metals and machines 
    Em                   G                   Cadd9    Cadd9 
And through the harvest, blue sheep gathered in 
       D              Cadd9 
Such a long and hardy process 
  D                Cadd9 
A battle with the skies 
  Em                 G            Cadd9    Cadd9 
Before each carriage home could begin 

 
[Refrão]
        G/B         D         Cadd9          Cadd9 
Ooh, the higher we aspire, the further we can fall 
     G/B             D               Cadd9    Cadd9 
The stronger our foundations have to be 
    G/B         D          Cadd9             Cadd9 
The miracles we follow, we choose them every day 
Em             G                Cadd9    Cadd9 
Riding out for all the world to see 

 
[Verso 3]
       D                   Cadd9 
As the star grew higher and higher 
D                  Cadd9 
Pressure too would mount 
   Em               G            Cadd9    Cadd9 
To keep your shape, symmetry may change 
          D                     Cadd9 
With the strong and steady arms out 
  D                Cadd9 
A keen and focused eye 
  Em             G               Cadd9    Cadd9 
I load the wagon up right in its frame 


[Refrão]
         G/B         D         Cadd9          Cadd9 
Ooh, the higher we aspire, the further we can fall 
     G/B             D               Cadd9    Cadd9 
The stronger our foundations have to be 
    G/B         D          Cadd9             Cadd9 
The miracles we follow, we choose them every day 
Em             G                Cadd9 
Riding out for all the world to see

[Verso 4]
D               Cadd9 
Though I drew a picture 
       D           Cadd9 
Of the lessons I received 
 Em                G              Cadd9    Cadd9 
Okay with that, it ended just the same 
        D                 Cadd9 
For the load we build, is ours to ride 
  D             Cadd9 
However off the tracks 
     Em              G             Cadd9    Cadd9 
What ever odds might lie along the lane
