Intro: D
     D
When I was a boy, I'd get so annoyed
                         A
Whenever it was pouring rain

Standing at the glass door, starin' at the outside
                          D
Nose pressed against the pane
                                                  G
I told my momma I don't wanna be stuck inside no more
                                D
Give me thunder and lightnin', something excitin'
E                       A
That's what I'm living for

Chorus:
           D
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
G
I've got a life and I'm gonna live it
E
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
          A
There's footprints on the moon
         D
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
G
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
        D                       G
If you play it safe, you won't get nowhere
        D                          A          D
Can't stay in here when there's a world out there

I remember back in school, they thought I was a fool
For asking Lizzy Walker to the dance
She was always with the captain of the football team
Nobody thought I even had a chance
But imagine my surprise when she looked me in the eyes
And said I'll go with you instead
I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever
When Lizzy looked at me and said...hey baby

CHORUS

    A                           D
I imagine when they land on a brand new planet
         A           D
In some far-off galaxy
     G                          D
Somebody in the rocket's gonna look out the window
         E                   A
Feeling just like Lizzy and me

CHORUS

        D                       G
If you play it safe, you won't get nowhere
        D                          A          D
Can't stay in here when there's a world out there

FADE ON D
