[Intro]
| Am7 | Fmaj7 | C | G | (2x)
[Verse]
Am7 Fmaj7 C
I'm on the outside looking out
G Am7 Fmaj7 C G
And I'm still wondering how I'm on the wrong side of my dreams
Am7 Fmaj7 C
I guess everybody is right
G Am7
The grass is greener on one side
Fmaj7 C G
But I couldn't find where it divides
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C G
It's a real thin line in the middle of heaven and here
Fmaj7 C G
Cause I see paradise across a river of tears
Fmaj7 C
But I know there's hope for my soul
C G
That took a wrong turn on the yellow brick road
Fmaj7 C G
It's a real thin line in the middle of heaven and here

My dreams they look me in the eye
G Am7 Fmaj7 C G
And they never tell me why I can look but I can't touch
Am7 Fmaj7 C
I know there's others just like me
G Am7
That gave it all up for their dreams
Fmaj7 C G
Now they're standing out of reach
[Chorus]

It's a real thin line in the middle of heaven and here

And I won't look back
