[Verse]
C#m G#m A F# C#m G#m A F#
A suited man smiled, said: It's just a matter of time
C#m G#m A
You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow
F# C#m G#m A F#
Just sign on this line
C#m G#m
Hold tight, limelight!
A F# C#m G#m
Approaching the paramount with the sun in our eyes
A F#m
Fearing family ties, legalies compromise
E
In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage
D
A dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent
C
Haunts the eavesdropping silence that presses his window
Am G
As he sweats a performance to an audience that ticks on the wall
C#m G#m A F# C#m G#m A F#
To the practical observer it's just a matter of time
C#m G#m A F# C#m G#m A F#
You can deviate from the commonplace only to fall back in line
C#m G#m A F#
I understand mine's a risky plan and your system can't miss
C#m G#m A
But is security after all a cause or symptom of happiness?

[Instrumental]
F#m E D C Am G
F#m
Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon
E
In a steady-set gaze
D
A mariner soon from an open cocoon
C
Takes a moment to summon his courage
Am G
To stifle his grave apprehension and trembling, approaches the surf
