D Dmaj7 Em
Way, way out, past where the sidewalks disappear...
G A D
And up through bright, blue blots of sky
D Dmaj7 Em
Where the days turn the weeks into months of the year...
G A D
...And we're together, you and I.
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Em
...We could be looking for the same thing,
G A D
...If you're looking for someone
D Dmaj7 Em
...We could belong to each other,
G A D
...If you're not seeing anyone.
