A Ebnew world Cm7calls across the Abocean 
A Ebnew world Cm7calls across the Dbsky Eb/Db  Db  
A Eb/Bbnew world wCm7hispers in the sAbhadows 
Time to Dbfly, Eb/Dbtime tDbo fly 
EbIt's about one moment 
The Fm7/Ebmoment before it all becomes clear 
And in that Ebone moment 
You sDb/Ebtart to believe there's nothing to fear 
It's about F#one second 
And juE/F#st when you're on the verge of success 
The sBky starts to change 
And the Absuswind stAbarts to Ab/Bbblow 
And Eboh, you're suFm7ddenly a sAbtranger
There's Ebno explaFm7ining where you Abstand
And you didn't F7susknow 
That you sF7ometimes have to Abgo 
Round an unexpected bEb/Bbend 
And the road will Ab/Bbend 
In a new world 
A Ebnew world cCm7alls for me to fAbollow
A Ebnew world wCm7aits for my DbreplEb/Dby Db  
A Ebnew world hCm7olds me to a prAbomise
Standing Dbby, standing Eb/Fby 
It's about Bbone moment 
That mCm7/Bboment you think you know where you stand 
And in that Bbone moment 
The tAb/Bbhings that you're sure of slip from your hand 
And you've got Dbone second
To tB/Dbry to be clear, to try to stand tall 
But notGbhing's the same 
And the Ebsuswind staEb6rts to Eb/Fblow 
And Bboh, you're Cm7suddenly a sEbtranger
In sBbome comCm7pletely different Ebland
And you thought you C7susknew 
But you C7didn't have a Ebclue 
That the surface sometimes Bb/Fcracks
To reveal the Eb/Ftracks 
To a new world 
--
GmYou have a house in the hills 
Gm/FYou have a job on the coast 
Eb7You find a lover you're sure you believe in 
GmYou've got a pool in the back 
Gm/FYou get to the part of your life 
Eb7You hold the ring in your hand 
CBut then the earthquake hits 
Am7And the bank closes in 
FThen you realize you didn't know anything 
GNobody told you the E/G#best way to steer 
When the Am7wind starts to Am7/Dblow C/D  
And Goh, you're suAm7ddenly a Cstranger (All of a sudden)
You Glife is Am7different than you Cplanned 
And you'll have to A7susstay ‘til you A7somehow find a Cway 
To be sure of what will G/Dbe 
Then you might be C/Dfree 
A Fnew world Dm7crashes down like Bbthunder 
A Fnew world Dm7charging through the Ebair F/Eb  Eb  
A F/Cnew world Dm7just beyond the Bbmountain 
Waiting Ebthere, waiting Bb/Cthere 
A Abnew world Fm7shattering the Dbsilence
There's a Abnew world Fm7I'm afraid to Gbsee Ab/Gb  Gb  
A Ab/Ebnew world lFm7ouder every Dbmoment
Come to Gbme, come to Db7/Ebme
