Intro: E

            E
  I've been around

  But I've only been around 
       A
  For a short while

               E
  I've seen it all

  Seen all that I can 
    A
  On TV


C                  G
  That's where the war begins
C                  G               A
  That's where the art comes to an end

E

              E
  Now here we are

  Standing on the shoreline
         A      
  Looking out at the city


              E
  And jumping in

  Because someone's gotta 
                A
  Test the water this year


C                 G
  That's where my memory ends
C             G
  Setbacks in art, science
C                         G
  And the discoveries keep coming in and
A
  Setbacks keep coming in
A
  Is that truth in the science?


F                 C
  One step in the right direction
G
  Won't change the world, but it's a start
F                         C
  Someone's gotta see the good in everything
G
  That there's more than the start to think about
F                  C                G  
  That's where the art comes out
F                               C                  G
  That's where the truth of the heart comes out


C                 G
  That's where my memories lay
C                     G
  On the banks of the English Bay
C                      G
  Beneath the treeline cityscape
A
  The grey sky and the falling rain
