    D|    A|    Bm|    G|
 DWhen I was just a little boy from a little town
 AI made a wish that someday I could turn this around
 BmI made believe that I was right on top of the Gworld
 DAnd in my mind I saw the many valiant hearts
 AThey held on to their dreams and never once fell apart
 BmLike superheroes standing tall
 they're unbreak-Gable
But be-Aneath the moonlight you could Gsee their hearts Dbreaking Adown
The rise and fall of Dhope has never Gmade a Asound
[Chrous:]
DRun, run, run
Far beyond the setting Acrimson sun
Never meant to be Bmeasy
When you're trying to Gbe
more than ordinary
DRun, run, run
It's not over till it's Asaid and done
Never meant to be Bmeasy
Just believe that you could Gbe more than ordinary

 DAnd ten years later I found myself in front of a crowd
 AThey look to me for hope to end their burning doubt
 BmWithin my hands I held on to their flames of de-Gsire
AAnd their prayers guide me as I Gswim amongst the shooting Astars
AThis little boy isn't dreaG-ming (and) he could see it Anow
[Chrous:]
DRun, run, run
Far beyond the setting Acrimson sun
Never meant to be Bmeasy
When you're trying to Gbe
more than ordinary
DRun, run, run
It's not over till it's Asaid and done
Never meant to be Bmeasy
Just believe that you Gcould be more than ordinary
    D|    A|    Bm|    G|
 DAnd now I tell my little boy from this little town
 AThe road ahead is hard but you'll find your way around
 BmSomeday you'll wake up feeling like you're on top of the GworldD

D A Bm G

| | | |

When I was just a little boy from a little town

I made a wish that someday I could turn this around

Bm G

I made believe that I was right on top of the world

And in my mind I saw the many valiant hearts

They held on to their dreams and never once fell apart

Like superheroes standing tall

they're unbreak-able

A G D A

But be-neath the moonlight you could see their hearts breaking down

D G A

The rise and fall of hope has never made a sound

[Chrous:]

Run, run, run

Far beyond the setting crimson sun

Never meant to be easy

When you're trying to be

more than ordinary

Run, run, run

It's not over till it's said and done

Never meant to be easy

Just believe that you could be more than ordinary

And ten years later I found myself in front of a crowd

They look to me for hope to end their burning doubt

Bm G

Within my hands I held on to their flames of de-sire

A G A

And their prayers guide me as I swim amongst the shooting stars

A G A

This little boy isn't drea-ming (and) he could see it now

[Chrous:]

Run, run, run

Far beyond the setting crimson sun

Never meant to be easy

When you're trying to be

more than ordinary

Run, run, run

It's not over till it's said and done

Never meant to be easy

Just believe that you could be more than ordinary

D A Bm G

And now I tell my little boy from this little town

The road ahead is hard but you'll find your way around

Bm G D

Someday you'll wake up feeling like you're on top of the world
