[intro]
Dm
[Verse]
G Bb F
Sliding on the shimmering surface between two worlds
G Bb F
Standing at the center of time as it uncurls
Gm Bb
Cutting through the veil of illusion
Gm Dm
Moving beyond past conclusions
Gm Bb F
Rendering all doubt and confusion clear
[Chorus]
Dm
If I could be anywhere
F
If I could be anywhere
Bb Eb
If I could be anywhere right now
F
I would want to be here
[Verse]
G Bb F
Searching for the future among the things we're throwing away
G Bb F
Swimming through the ocean of junk we produce every day
Gm Bb
You have to admit it's clever
Gm Dm
Maybe the pinnacle of human endeavor
Gm Bb F
When things are made to throw away but never made to disappear
[Chorus]
Dm
If I could be anywhere
F
If I could be anywhere
Bb Eb
If I could be anywhere in time
F
I would want to be here
[Verse]
Dm F A Bb
The Romans, the Spanish, the British, the Dutch
Dm F Eb Bb
American exceptionalism - so out of touch
Dm F A Bb
Successions of empire repeating its course
A Gm A Gm
Extracting the wealth and ruling by force
A A sus A
On and on through time
[Pre - Chorus]
Bb F A Dm
But the world can't take it very much longer
Bb F A Dm
And we won't make it 'less we're smarter and stronger
Bb F A Dm Eb C
The world's gonna shake itself free of our greed somehow
[Chorus]
Dm
If I could be anywhere
F
If I could be anywhere in time
Bb Eb
If I could be anywhere and change things
F
It would have to be now
[Bridge]
Eb Bb
They say nothing lasts forever
F A Dm
But all the plastic ever made is still here
Eb Bb F
And no amount of closing our eyes will make it disappear
[Pre - Chorus]
Bb F A Dm
And the world can't take it very much longer
Bb F A Dm
And we won't make it 'less we're smarter and stronger
Bb F A Dm Eb C
The world's gonna shake itself free of our greed somehow
Bb F A Dm
And the world can't take it, that you can see
Bb F A Dm
If the oceans don't make it neither will we
Bb F A Dm Eb C
The world's gonna shake itself all the way free somehow
[Chorus]
Dm
If I could be anywhere
F
If I could be anywhere in time
Bb Eb
If I could be anywhere and change the outcome
F
It would have to be now
