[Opening]
[C]
You [G]come to the [C]end and the [G]light there is [C]dimmer,
And [G]chances are [C]slimmer of [F]finding your [G]way.
You find that you [C]stay out of [G]trouble and [C]danger,
Cause [G]everything’s [C]stranger than [F]it used to [G]be.

[section 2]
[G]You’re a scary old [F]place out there, [C]world,
But I [C]couldn’t be happy with[G]out you,
And I [G7]swear all my thoughts are a[C]bout you
The most [D]beautiful world in the [G]world. [C]

[section 3]
Your [C]mountains when you’re mad, your rivers when you’re sad
And those [G7]deep, blue [C]seas.
I [F]love you for your [C]snow, your [A]deserts down below.
I [D]love the way you wear your [G7]trees

[section 4]
The most [C]beautiful [G7]world in the [C]world.
And [C7]though there are [E]times when I [F]doubted you,
I just couldn’t [D]stay here with[C]out you.

[Closing]
So [F]when you get older and [C]over your shoulder,
You [E7]look back to see if it’s [Am]real.
[F]Tell her she’s [F#7]beautiful, [G]roll the world [A7]over,
And [D]give her a kiss and a [C]feel.
