I  can turn the gray sky blue.
5  5   -5* -6  7
I can make it rain, 
5     7  7-6  -5* 5  5
when-ev-er I want it to.
-7* 8 -7*   8  -7* 8  -7* 
Oh, I can build a cas-tle
8   -7* 8  -7*   8   8   -9*
from a sin-gle grain of sand.
-7* 7  -6 -6  -5*  5   -3*  4   3 
I can make a ship sail, on dry land.

-6  7   -7  7  -6  7   6
But my life is in-com-plete 
5    5   5  3
and I'm so blue. 
5      8  7    -6   -6   5  5 
'Cause I can't get next to you.
4  4    -3*  4   4  -5*   5
I can't get next to you, babe. 
3   4   -3*  4    4 -5*

I  Can fly like a bird in the sky.
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy.
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire.
I can live forever if I so desired.

Unimportant are all the things I can do.
'Cause I can't get next to you.


-3* 4   -3*  4    4 -5*
I can't get next to you, 
-3* 4   -3*  4    4 -5*    4
I can't get next to you, babe. 
3   4   -3*  4    4 -5*
I can't get next to you.
