[Chorus 1]
'Cause C#/Feverything you want is more than G#what's in your hands,
but F7sus4if you had the money would you sFmtill understand?
I'll gC#/Five you time and space to G#do all you can,
'cause F7sus4you are my lady and CmI am your man.
[Verse 2]
I Fm/Cthink we got distracted C#talking way too much about those D#big dreams in our Cmheads.Csus2  
So go and get a C#/Fjob        Fmworking in a cD#afé down the rCmoad,
serving cake anC#/Fd tea       Fmto someone you don't rD#eally want to know.

'Cause C#/Feverything you want is more than G#what's in your hands,
but F7sus4if you had the money would you sFmtill understand?
Would the tC#/Fhings that you dream about G#just be put aside?
Would you F7sus4put down your brush and fCmeel like you tried?

You Cwant my love, A#can't you see C#/Fwhere you are and where you wanna Fmbe?
'Cause IC'm like you, A#too much talk, C#/Fnot enough action. Too many distractions.D#/G  Fm
