Intro:
A F#m A
I've got Devery reason tAo be high
I've got a plDace in the heaven beyAond
I've got drDeams to live and I've got lAove to give
And I knBmow it in my heart and sF#moul where we will be gAoing
Well, I lDay me down to the nAorthern sky
I wake Dup with the light of the sAun
And the sDavage beast will sAurely die
In the BBmethlehem far belF#mow where we will be gAoing
OhF#m... I've got the gold, and I've got the sAilver
OhF#m... and I've got a place to call my EownE7  
It's a wDay of living forAever
It's a wDay of living the drAeam
It's a wDay of living the whAole life
Come down to the rBmiverD  
Come down to the sAea
I remDember footsteps Aon the moon
After DDallas darkened dAays
When the whDole world seemed to stAop and look
And they Bmask themselves everydF#may, where are we goAing?
But the BDowman turned and cAarried on
HAL prepDared for childhood's Aend
And it cDame out of dark and wAintry skies
On a tBmerrible December nF#might in New York CAity
OhF#m... hey John, are you out there lAistening?
OhF#m... way across the univEerseE7  
It's a wDay of living forAever
It's a wDay of living the drAeam
It's a wDay of living the whAole life
Come down to the rBmiverD  
Come down to the sAea
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Come down to the rBmiverD  
Come down to the sAea
I've got Devery reason tAo be high
I've got a plDace in the heaven beyAond
I've got drDeams to live and I've got lAove to give
And I knBmow it in my heart and sF#moul where we will be gAoing
Where we will be gAoing
Intro: E- A- E- A  
It's C#mall right I'm not lG#most,A  
I've got a reading Eon the Southern cF#mross,
And I've been listening to the rC#madio,
For signsBsus4_____ of new__B__ lifeG#,
C#mSome people find the G#mgame too tougAh,
And there are those who've simply Ehad enougF#mh,
But I'm still here and I'm not gC#miving up,
I'm goBsus4_____ing the diBstance;
WhateAver it takes ... I hBave to fight,
To build a better wAorld ... and make it rBight,
And when I am alAone ... it's late at nBight,
I reAach out and you're right Bhere by my sideE;
When everything has gonAe,
You help me carryG#m___ onA,
You lE/Bift me up, you make mBe strong,
You give lEove to see me tAhrough,
F#m7Ooh ooh ooh what would I doB,
A   B   E- A- E- A  
Without you by my side ?
And out here on the flight,
I'm on a wing and a prayer tonight,
The moon is showing me the way to go,
I'm flying forever.
I've got what it takes ... to win the fight,
And build a better world ... and make it right,
But when I am alone ... it's late at night,
I reach out and you're here by my side,
When everything has gone,
You help me carry on,
You lift me up, you make me strong,
You give love to see me through,
Ooh ooh ooh what would I do,
Without you by my side ?
EAlways you're in my heart,
AAlways by Dmy sEide,
Always you're in my lAife,

Always I think what would I Bdo without youA, (without you),
By my sideB,

Looking Fin a heart of darkness from abovEme
To the man insDide
I tCook my chance and sDet off for the lightEm  
And stCarted on the jDourney of my lEmifeC  D  Em

Till the mAmoment I stood on the shBore, world's awEmay
This was my dCestiny, to be bDack here in another tEmime
And all arEmound me I saw the faces thCat I knew
