Capo on 1st fret
F
You will notice me
CC/BAmGF
I'll be leaving my mark, like initials carved in an old oak tree
G
You wait and see
Am
Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
F
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gough
D
Cure the common cold
F
I don't know but I'm ready to start, 'cause I know in my heart
C
I wanna do somethin' that matters,
say somethin' different,
FGAm
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
GFDm
I wanna do somethin better, with the time I've been given
ConEF ConE
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life,
FG ConE
Leave nothin' less than something that says I was here
FAmG ConEFAmGF
I will prove you wrong
C ConBAmG
If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock
F
'Cause this dream's too strong
GAm
And before too long, maybe I'll compose symphonies
F
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
DF
'Cause I know it's my destiny to leave more than a trace of myself in this place
C
I wanna do somethin' that matters, say somethin' different
FGAm
somethin' that sets the whole world on it's ear
GFDm
I wanna do somethin' better, with the time I've been given
ConEF ConE
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
FG ConE
Leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here
FAmGDm ConE
And I know that I,
F ConE
I will do more than just pass through this life
FG ConEF
I'll leave nothin' less than somethin' that says I was here,
AmG ConE
I was here
