VERSE 1: (play intro/verse)
if there's a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in ol' 72
we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
and all I can remember is sitting beside you
you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
and I never saw someone say that before
you held my hand and we walked home the long way
you were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr
CHORUS:
CIsn't it aGmazing anything's aFccomplished
when the little sensation gets in your way
not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing you can do anything
VERSE 2: (play intro/verse)
We hung out together every single moment
'cause that's what we thought married people do
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
and believing in the country of me and you
crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
and yeah, we'd heard all that before
it's wintertime the house is solitude with options
and loosening the grip on a fake cold war
CHORUS:
CIsn't it aGmazing what you can Faccomplish
when don't let the nation get in your way
no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
CIsn't it amazing Fyou can do anyGthing
BRIDGE:
Gnext to your comrades in the national fitness program
caught in some eternal flexed arm hang
droppin' to the mat in a fit of laughter
showed no patience, tolerance or restraint
VERSE 3: (play verse/chorus)
fireworks exploding in the distance
temporary towers soar
fireworks emulatin' heaven
'til there are no stars anymore
fireworks aiming straight at heaven
temporary towers soar
'til there are no stars shining up in heaven
'til there are no stars anymore
CHORUS:
CIsn't it aGmazing what you can Faccomplish
when the little sensation gets in your way
no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh
this one thing never goes away
I think this one thing is always supposed to stay
this one thing doesn't have to go away

VERSE 1: (play intro/verse)

if there's a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in ol' 72

we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger

and all I can remember is sitting beside you

you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey

and I never saw someone say that before

you held my hand and we walked home the long way

you were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr

CHORUS:

C G F

Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished

when the little sensation gets in your way

not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

Isn't it amazing you can do anything

VERSE 2: (play intro/verse)

We hung out together every single moment

'cause that's what we thought married people do

Complete with the grip of artificial chaos

and believing in the country of me and you

crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin

and yeah, we'd heard all that before

it's wintertime the house is solitude with options

and loosening the grip on a fake cold war

CHORUS:

C G F

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish

when don't let the nation get in your way

no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

C F G

Isn't it amazing you can do anything

BRIDGE:

next to your comrades in the national fitness program

caught in some eternal flexed arm hang

droppin' to the mat in a fit of laughter

showed no patience, tolerance or restraint

VERSE 3: (play verse/chorus)

fireworks exploding in the distance

temporary towers soar

fireworks emulatin' heaven

'til there are no stars anymore

fireworks aiming straight at heaven

temporary towers soar

'til there are no stars shining up in heaven

'til there are no stars anymore

CHORUS:

C G F

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish

when the little sensation gets in your way

no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh

this one thing never goes away

I think this one thing is always supposed to stay

this one thing doesn't have to go away
