[Verse 1]
Dm F Am C
I wanted to make something sweet
Dm F Am C
The blood inside a maple tree
Dm F Am C
The sunlight trapped inside the wood
Dm F Am C
Make something good
[Verse 2]
Dm F Am C
I wanted to make something strong
Dm F Am C
An organ pipe in a cathedral
Dm F Am C
That stays in tune through a thousand blooms
Dm F Am C
Make something good
[Chorus]
Dm F Am C
It's a gonna take a long, long time
Dm F Am C
But we're gonna make something so fine
C C
[Verse 3]
Dm F Am C
I wanted to make something pure
Dm F Am C
An emerald field from steer manure
Dm F Am C
A wild-eyed child in a moonlit room
Dm F Am C
Make something good
[Verse 4]
Dm F Am C
I wanted to make something built to last
Dm F Am C
A bottled ship with a golden mast
Dm F Am C
And through the squall the course stays true
Dm F Am C
Make something good
Dm F Am C
Make something good
[Chorus]
Dm F Am C
It's gonna take a long, long time
Dm F Am C
But we're gonna make something so fine
Dm F Am C
It's gonna take a long, long time
Dm F Am C
But we're gonna make something so fine
