Chasing a Dream
Words and music by Robin Holly c2001

G                     Em           C         G
The stars they always drew me, the sky my destiny
C                        G              Am              D
But the gulf between the ground and the heights is so clear
C        G         C                 G
So many times I strained my eyes to see
C                       G       D                 G        
Just couldn't find the road to get me there from here

    C        G    C               G
I awoke one day seeing where I'd been
C                 G                 Am            D
Knowing that the next day would be much like the last
C         G             C               G
How many times has the lack of will to win
C             G                D          G
Kept us from trying until the chance has passed (So, I'm)

        C          G            C              G
        Chasing a dream, though I am far from home
        Em                C            D       G
        And every step I take puts me further away
        Em              C                 Em          G
        From blue sky country, where the stars shine clear
              G                C                       D             Em
        The stars are not so bright here, but they've never been so near

         C           G         C               G
Now the call of the dream has pulled me in its wake
C             G                 Am              D
So I left my home and past too full of hope to grieve
     C           G           C              G
The way to the stars is the path I want to take
         C              G        D            G
And the obstacles I've overcome help me to believe (I am)

        Cho.
