Capo 2

G                       Cadd9 
Somewhere just over the rainbow
    D                  G
Lie answers to all our dreams
        G                      Cadd9 
But the road we must follow to reach them
   D                           G
Is paved with much anguish and grief

There's heartache around every corner
It lurks like a thief in the night
Hiding silently deep in the shadows
Making victims of those passing by


Chorus:
C  D    G                         C
On this highway of dreams that we travel
        D                G 
There's no exit for easy street
     Bm                       C
It's rough and it's rocky and weathered by tears
     Am        C/B         C   
It's been no exception for me
      G                             Cadd9 
But I know it's the right road I've taken
         D                       G
Cause it lead me somehow to your heart
    Bm               C 
And I may never have fallen for you
   D                        G
If I hadn't reached for the stars


In the curves we meet pain and rejection
At times it's so hard to be strong
But just when i think about turning around
you give me strength to go on


Chorus
