Standard (EADGBE)

(base, 1st, 3rd, 2nd)

chords:

 I wipe the dreams from my eyes, face the morning outside

And I wake up, watching the world go by.

 I see the sun and the rain from my seat on the train

Through the window, watching the world go by.

And I look on at the day unfolding

And the traffic going nowhere (strum )

 Gazing out on the street and the faces I meet

Everyday watching the world go by.

 There are those who dont stop for the hands on the clock

They dont see the way the time can fly

 Always running behind with so much on their minds

 As for me, I'm watching the world go by.

And through it all with the hours passing

Everybody rushing somewhere. (strum )

They're all moving so fast trying hard to get past

 As I stand watching the world go by.

x2

And in the end when the day is over

When I ask myself just where the world is going. (strum A11)

 What's been lost? What's been gained? Have our lives really changed?

 Then I laugh, and sometimes I wanna cry

Watching the world go by.

Watching the world go by.
