[Intro]
CmN.L.
FTop of the Gmmorning,
No it’s Anot a new Dmday,
But it’s time to wake Cmup, yes it’s time to wake Dmup.
[Verse 1]
Did you ever Cmwonder about the world and the way we live.F  
All the Gmpieces of the puzzle, they don’t seem to fit.A  A#  
The Dmplay seems okay,
Cause the Dmactors are paid,
Pull the Cmcurtains away,
And reDmveal the real stage.
CmOne in every seven people on the planet Fdoesn’t have,
EGmnough to eat but somehow we just choose not to seAe.A#  
DmTry to keep it in perspective, saving all the unprotected,
CmStill the people are neglected, Dmwe are all connected.
[Chorus]
Said a Cmhey, 
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can be anything that you Cmwant to be,
Oh Dmohw.
I said a Cmhey,
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can do anything that you Cmwant to do,
Oh Dmohw.
[Verse 2]
And Cmoh my god, what is what,
I can’t see Ftrough the fog,
GmGot my own problems to be thinking of, yo AI am A#lost.
Now Dmdon’t even sweat it, trust me I get it,
I’m not Cmsaying you should change the diDmrection that your heading for.
CmJust asking you if you want to Flook into,
GmHow things are going,
And if we’re really flowAing.A#  
With the Dmpopulation growing
And the Dmpeople more unknowing,
Will Cmthis be our faith?
Will we Dmall just be slaves?
[Chorus]
Said a Cmhey, 
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can be anything that you Cmwant to be,
Oh Dmohw.
I said a Cmhey,
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can do anything that you Cmwant to do,
Oh Dmohw.
[Bridge]
Well it’s Cmtime to see the world in a Dmdifferent light,
We’ve gone D#way past the bible,
Yeah, so Fwe have thrived,
We got to Gmsee the world trough alien eFyes.
Zoom Gmout a little bit,
And take a look at our livFes, I said.
CmThat way we can sDmee,
DmAll the beauty,
The D#mountains and the seas,
And all those Fcreatures running free,
But the Gmsmartest of them all is living in captivityF,
Something Gmgoing really wrong it’s not even funny.
[Chorus]
Said a Cmhey, 
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can be anything that you Cmwant to be,
Oh Dmohw.
I said a Cmhey,
You were free since the Fday that you Gmcame,
Won’t you take over the AwoA#rld toDmday?
You can do anything that you Cmwant to do,
Oh Dmohw.
[Outro]
But I can see the Cmsunshine,F  
The Gmsunshine.
I can see the Cmsunshine,F  
The Gmsunshine.
I Gmcan Asee the Cmsunshine,F  
The Gmsunshine.
The Cmsunshine.F  
The Gmsunshine.
I can see the Cmsunshine,F  
The Gmsunshine.

Cm F

Did you ever wonder about the world and the way we live.

Gm A A#

All the pieces of the puzzle, they don’t seem to fit.

And reveal the real stage.

Still the people are neglected, we are all connected.

[Chorus]

Won’t you take over the world today?

You can do anything that you want to do,

Oh ohw.

[Verse 2]

And oh my god, what is what,

I can’t see trough the fog,

Gm A A#

Got my own problems to be thinking of, yo I am lost.

Now don’t even sweat it, trust me I get it,

Cm Dm

I’m not saying you should change the direction that your heading for.

Cm F

Just asking you if you want to look into,

How things are going,

A A#

And if we’re really flowing.

With the population growing

And the people more unknowing,

Will this be our faith?

Will we all just be slaves?

[Chorus]

Said a hey,

You were free since the day that you came,

Cm Dm

Well it’s time to see the world in a different light,

We’ve gone way past the bible,

Yeah, so we have thrived,

Gm F

We got to see the world trough alien eyes.

Zoom out a little bit,

And take a look at our lives, I said.

Cm Dm

That way we can see,

All the beauty,

The mountains and the seas,

And all those creatures running free,

Gm F

But the smartest of them all is living in captivity,

Something going really wrong it’s not even funny.

[Chorus]

Said a hey,

F Gm

You were free since the day that you came,

A A# Dm

Won’t you take over the world today?

You can be anything that you want to be,

Oh ohw.

I said a hey,

F Gm

You were free since the day that you came,

A A# Dm

Won’t you take over the world today?

You can do anything that you want to do,
