Beyond Today – Seventh Wonder (Capo 4 for original key)
[Verse 1]
Em C
I can hear them through the window
G D
Singing out my name
Em C
They all laugh and sound so happy
G D
Why so happy? I don’t know
Em C
If I fail, if I don’t make it
G D
Will their song remain the same?
Em C G
Or will the echoes fade to make these streets sound silent
D
Once again
[Pre-Chorus]
D Am
They say I’m the one
C G
But what if I’m not the one who can save us
D
From the end of the world
Am C
Even though I must go, it’s important to know
G D
I am scared, but I won’t let it show
C D G
What if I--if I never do what I did in my dreams
C
So many times
G D
And I wonder will I ever say
Em
Hey
[Chorus]
C G
If you tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine
D Em
A perfect stranger in a ticket line
C
Just like in the movies
G D
Will he put his hand in mine?
Em C G
And will I ever dance prom night away?
D Em
And throw my hat up high on graduation day?
C G D C
I think it’s safe to say the best is yet to come
D G D
There’s somewhere beyond today
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
I can hear her in the kitchen, crying out my name
Em
And how it breaks her heart
C G D
This brand-new start will tear all she knows apart
Em C G D
I can hear him in the hallway, fallen to his knees
Em C
And the always strong and silent one’s
G D
Not silent anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
D Am
They say I’m the one
C G
But what if I’m not the one who can save us
D
At the edge of the world
C Am
Even though I must go, it’s important to know but--
[Chorus]
Em C G
If you tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine
D Em
A perfect stranger with a pick up line
C
Just like in the movies
G D
Will he put his hand in mine?
Em C G
And will I ever dance prom night away?
D Em
And throw my hat up high on graduation day?
C G D Em
I think it’s safe to say the best is yet to come
Em C G
Will someone ask my dad for his daughter’s hand
D Em
To make her princess of the promised land?
C G D
Just like in the movies, will I feel those butterflies?
Em C G
Will I grow up to make my mother proud
D Em
Despite my rebel years when I was way too loud
C G D C
I think it’s safe to say the best is yet to come
D Em
There’s somewhere beyond today
C D G
There’s somewhere beyond today
