For Forever

Tom: F

F
  End of May or Early June
   Am                            Bb
This picture perfect afternoon we shared
F
  Drive the winding country road
Am
   Grab a scoop at A La Mode
     Bb
And then we're there

F
  An open field that's framed with trees
 Am                              
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
   Bb
Like buddies do

 F
Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Am
   Telling jokes no one understands
  Bb
Except us two
      Dm       Bb           C
And we talk and take in the view

F               Bb
  All we see is sky for forever
F                    Bb
  Let the world pass by for forever
F                        Bb                   G
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way
      Bb        C         F
Two friends on a perfect day

F
  We walk a while and we talk about
    Am                               Bb
The things we'll do when we get out of school
F
  Bike the Appalachian trail or
Am
   Write a book, or learn to sail
          Bb
Wouldn't that be cool

Bb
There's nothing that we can't discuss
      F                                 Bb
Like girls we wish would notice us but never do
Bb 
He looks around and says to me
      F 
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be"
     Bb 
I say "me too"

        Dm       Bb          C               
And we talk and take in the view
         Dm       Bb          C
We just talk and take in the view

F               Bb
  All we see is sky for forever
F                    Bb
  Let the world pass by for forever
F                        Bb                   Eb
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way
      Bb  
This way

F               Bb
  All we see is sky for forever
F                    Bb
  Let the world pass by for forever
F                        Bb                   G
  Feels like we could go on for forever this way
      Bb        C         F
Two friends on a perfect day

     G#
And there he goes racing toward the tallest tree
      C#                                      G#         Fm
From far across the yellow field I hear him calling "follow me"
    Bb       Gm     
And there we go
           F
Wondering how the world might look from up so high

Eb
   One foot after the other

One branch then to another
F                      Bb
  I climb higher and higher
F                      Gm
  I climb until the entire
Gm                Eb
Sun shines on my face

        F                 Bb        Eb
And I suddenly feel the branch give way
             Bb
I'm on the ground
             F   Gm
My arm goes numb
         Bb
I look around

And I see him coming to get me
 F
He's coming to get me
    Eb           F
And everything's okay

G                 C
  All we see is sky for forever
G         D        G  C
Let the world pass by for forever
G              C                   F
Buddy, you and I for forever this way
      C               
This way

G                  C
  All we see is light
G                       C
 'Cause the sun burns bright
D              G    C                     F
  We could be all right for forever this way
G
  Two friends
C
True friends
    D         G
On a perfect day
