A E D

Intro: (x2)

A E D

You are the one you makes a difference

A E D

But I am the one who makes the waves

A E D

All down the line this makes us different

A E D

So all our dreams may stay awake

A E D

You know sometimes things get so strange

A E D

And all we do may go astray

A E D

Wrapped in your youth these things won't harm you

A E D

And they don't hit you like a train

A E D

Say... won't you see her

A E D

I heard she's waiting at your door

A E D

Oh I hope you won't keep near her

A E D

I know she's bound to want it all

A E D

Intermediate: (x2)

A E D

She's uncommon, she has one face

A E D

And her heart beats to your tune

A E D

When she speaks, she speaks of only your name

A E D

Then she repeats it like a fool

A E D

Hey... you can't say you don't want her

A E D

You know you let her through your wall

A E D

Oh I hope you don't keep near her

A E D

I know she's bound to want it all

A E D

You are the one you makes a difference

A E D

But I am the one who makes the waves

A E D

All down the line this makes us different

A E D

So all our dreams may stay awake
