Intro: G – D – C – D

Verse 1:
G              D
Saturday afternoon
                C                               D
With the sun shining down on you
              Em               D                               C
But you still keep on wearing that hollow smile

Well,
G                            D
Life is made up of broken things
        C                                       D
And you’ve had your share of broken dreams
               Em                          D                      C
And this lonely road you’re on just goes for miles and miles and miles
                                   Em
And you know these miles
D                               C
Are gonna wear you down
                        Em                      D                     C        D
And you keep looking for something to turn it around

Chorus:
                     G          D/A
Give me the music 
              Em/B                   C
That can heal this broken heart
                     G          D/A
Give me the music
                 Em/B               C
You can’t stop it once it starts  (It doesn’t matter who you are)
              Am
There’s something that you feel
                  D9
When you know that it’s for real
           G
In the music

Verse 2:
G                             D
A connoisseur of a million sorrows
C                        D
Sometimes you wish you could borrow
Em      D                        C
Oooh      Some kind of light

G                                          D
Well brother there ain’t no use in trying
      C                                               D
To hold back those tears that you feel like crying
Em      D                       C
Oooh     It’s gonna be alright
                  Em
And these trials
D                                C
Are gonna bring you down
       Em                            D
But I’ve got something
                 C            D
To turn it around

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:

Em                                           C
You can travel 'round, you’re irritated, and you can't shake it     
G                                             D
Feelin' like you're emulatin' someone else's dreams          
Em                                       C                  
Reach for Higher Ground, where a perfect love is found
G
There's no mistakin' you can make it,
D
If you just believe

Verse 3:

G                        D
People walking down the road
                    C
Won’t you slow down
         D               
And don’t you know that
Em                    D                   C
Life ain’t only about getting by
                                  G
Won’t you put your hands together
            D
Dance to the beat
         C                     D
Sing along with the melody
      Em            D                      C
Be the music for somebody’s life

Repeat Chorus:
