[Verse 1]
IDf you'll step inside this greaAt glass elevaGtor,
It'lDl take us up aboAve the city ligGhts,
To wDhere the planet curves awAay to the eqD/Fuator,
I wanna sGhow you something A/C#fine,
You can see the Droads that we all traveled just to get hGere,
A millDion minuscule decisAions in a lGine,
Why thDey brought us to this Amoment isn't cD/Flear,
BuGt that's alA/C#right, we've got all night,
[Chorus 1]
Could it be that the Gmany roads you took to get Dhere,
                                           A                 Bsus(G)
Were just for me to tell this story, and for you to hear this song
And your many hGopes, and your many fDears, were meant to bring you hAere,
All alGong,
[Verse 2]
DSo if you trust me with your time I'll Aspend it wiGsely,
And I wDill sing to you with alAl I have to gGive,
Cause if Dyou traveled all this Away, then I will dD/Fo my bGest to play,
My biggest A/C#hits, that don't exist,
DAnd if you lend to me your ear I'll sAing them pGretty,
DAnd I will never ever sing them Aout of tGune,
And I wDill not forget the wAords to any cD/Fhorus bridge or Gverse,
I promise A/C#you, oh ohh
--(Chorus 1)--
[Bridge]
And we got BsusBenjamin to play that old Apiano,
                            D      D/FGaddB
If we're lucky it's a little out of tune,
And we got BsusAndy on the guiAtar,
Cause I prDomised him some A/C#Texas barGbecue, oh ohh
[Verse 3]
DHow I love to watch you lAisten to the muGsic,
DCause you sing to me a mAusic of your oGwn,
As DI cast out all these lAines,
So aDfraid that D/FI will fGind I am aA/C#lone, all alone,
[Chorus 2]
Could it be that the mGany roads I took to get Dhere,
Were just for Ame to hear that story,
                     Bsus(G)
And for you to sing that song
And my many hGopes, and my many fDears, were meant to bring me hAere, all aGlong
DWe were meant to be right A/C#here, all aGlong.
