Verse 1:
C                       F
let's take a better look
C               G
beyond a story book
C                       F
and learn our souls are all we own
C          G      C
before we turn to stone
 
Verse 2:
C                       F
let's go to sleep with clearer heads
C                           G
and hearts too big to fit out beds
C                       F
and maybe we won't feel so alone
C           G      C
before we turn to stone
 
Refrain:
F                    G              Am
and if you wait for someone else's hand
F                G     Am
you will surely fall down
F                G             Am
if you wait for someone else's hand
        F           G
you'll fall, you'll fall
 
Verse 3:
C                       F
i know that i am nothing new
C                        G
my words might not seem much to you
C                    F
but brother how we must atone
C           G        C
before we turn to stone
