{Verse}
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
There's a boy I used to know
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
He was always searching high and low
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
Others looked and wondered why
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
He said I am reaching for the sky
F# G E Am F F6sus2 C
{Verse}
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
They say good will come to those who wait
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
Don't think too big just know your place
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
People don't belong in clouds or space
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
It's just an empty quest for ego's sake
{Chorus}
F# G E Am
He said I'll be reaching for the sky
F F6sus2 G
I have to see how high it goes
F# G E Am
While others they won't even try
F F6sus2 C
I'll be reaching for the sky
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
{Verse}
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
Do the stars shine brighter there?
C Cadd9 F6sus2/C C
Can you really walk on air?
{Chorus}
C G
If other men have reached the moon
Am G F
Saturn's rings could be mine soon
F# G E Am
He said I am reaching for the sky
F F6sus2 G
'Cause I have to know how high it goes
F# G E Am
And others they won't even try
F F6sus2 G
I'll be reaching for the sky
F F6sus2 G
I'll be reaching for the sky
