Given Half a Chance

1.
C                                  Gm
Given half a chance I might simply fade away
C                            Bb   F     Eb
Given no chance I'll have to stay right here
Dm           C       Gm     Ab    Bb
Isn't that I care so little for myself
    Gm           Bb      F
I'm just just so so full of fear
   Eb         Gm    F
It isn't that I'm ungrateful
    Db     Eb        F
For all my wealth of good
  Eb    Db       F
I never meant to seem so hateful
  Dm                              Bb                   C
I never thought that I could ever get to be so misunderstood

2.
C                             Gm
Sometimes I wonder if what is goin' on
   C                       Bb   F   Eb
Is seen by no one else but me
Dm  C                               Gm          Ab  Bb
    Sometimes I think maybe what is happening
   Gm               Bb              F
Is something me and no one else can see
Eb          Gm           F   
Sometimes I think people just look behind
       Db          Eb             F
People close their minds   People must be blind
Eb        Db         F
               We're all so resigned
Dm             Bb                        C
      Makes me think there is nothing to find

3.
C                             Gm
Sometimes I wonder if what is goin' on
   C                  Bb       F      Eb
Is somethin' just the spacemen know
Dm     C                                 Gm      Ab    Bb
       Sometimes I feel maybe we're just puppets being run
   Gm               Bb     F
By those in the U F O's       [Close Encounters 5-note theme]
        Eb          Gm          F
Yes and sometimes I fear people don't see the sky
       Db        Eb           F
People don't ask why   People don't even try
Eb  Db         F
        And it all makes me cry
Dm             Bb                       C
      Makes me just want to give up and die

4.
C                        Gm
Sometimes I know what is goin' on
     C                    Bb    F   Eb
With all of our worry and fears
Dm    C                           Gm       Ab    Bb
      Sometimes I see it as sheer luxury
     Gm                Bb               F
That our kind has been striving for for years
Eb           Gm           F
Sometimes we quit when we haven't begun
            Db       Eb            F
'Cause it's too much fun   When we see we are at one
Eb     Db         F
       Happens to everyone
Dm     Bb                   C
       Wish it was over and done.

5.
C                        Gm
Sometimes I hope what is goin' on
   C                       Bb    F  Eb
Is set by the source of it all
Dm   C                        Gm         Ab    Bb
     Sometimes I pray what is happening
      Gm                 Bb                   F
Makes sense if I keep on trying to answer the call
Eb           Gm         F
Sometimes my people all gather in love
Db   Eb            F
     My people are worshipful of
   Eb       Db          F
My people inside and my people above
       Dm
And it all makes me sing
   Bb                        C
To see what that worship can bring

C                                  Gm
Given half a chance I might simply fade away...
