verse 1 
Am 
Looking out my window at the city below 
C/G 
From my fancy hotel suite 
Am 
Tell me where the wind blows, tell me how a heart knows 
C/G 
Where a soul can find some sleep 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F 
I can see the sunshine, breaking through the skyline 
C              E         F 
I can feel the warmth it brings 
C                E        F       Fm 
I can't help but stop and think

verse 2 
Am 
Never made the wind blow, never made a heart grow 
                        C/G 
Never made a dove take flight 
Am 
Never made the sun rise, still can't get my heart right 
               C/G 
Only ever made mistakes 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F 
So I can see the sunshine, breaking through the skyline 
C               E        F 
I can feel the warmth it brings 
C                E       F        Fm 
I can't help but stop and think

Look out for yourself, it's all the rage 
E               Am       E       G 
You make up the rules or so they claim 
E              Am          Esus4  G 
One day you'll find life's not a game 
G                                Dm 
It's not the wave that moves the sea 
                           G 
But the sea that moves the wave
