Like [C]singing duets as a [G]solo.
The [D]harmony’s [G]just in your [D]head.
It’s [C]almost as if I have [D]been everywhere.
Almost [Em]tasted the food, almost [G7]breathed in the air.

[C]A waltz with no [G]partner, [C]nobody’s holding your [G]hand
[C]A duet’s just a [G]solo, if the [D]harmony is [G]all in your [D]head
I [C]thought that I knew what a [D]mountain was like
‘Till I [Em]stood in the valley and looked up [G7]at the sky
[Closing]

In pictures of [G]mountains.
