There's a boy I used to know

He was always searching high and low

They say good will come to those who wait

Don't think too big just know your place

People don't belong in clouds or space
C C9 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

While others they won't even try

I'll be reaching for the sky

Can you really walk on air?

If other men have reached the moon

And others they won't even try
F G
I'll be reaching for the sky

I'll be reaching for the sky
