Intro: (Capo 2) F F/A Bb - F F/A Bb-F/A-Gm-Dm/F-F/Eb Bbm6/C# Bb/C

    F                   FM7/D                     BbM9
   1. Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear,

                         F/A     Gm7                 Gm/C
      Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air

    F                  FM7/D                   BbM9
      Tired of getting tied to doing what's required

                        F/A          Gm7              Bb6/C
      Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things?

       C#dim7               Dm  C/Bb           F/A
      Through with taking roads someone else designed

      Gm7           A7      Dm         Gm7            Gm/C
      Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine

      A7                  Dm     C/Bb                 F/A
      Through with going through one more day, what's new?

                Gm/E      A7     Dm           Gm7               BbM7/C
      Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things?


                                  F        F/A                 Bb
   REF1: I think (So here) I'll follow the voice that calls within

          F             F/A            Bb
          Dance to the silent song it sings

            Asus    A/C#     Dm         G/B               F/C
          I hope to find my place so my life will fall in place

                    Bb/C               F/A
          I know in time I'll find my place

                   Gm7    Bb/C      F  F/A  Bb F/A Gm7
          In the greater scheme of things.


   2. Each must go his way, but how can I decide
      Which path I should take; who will be my guide?
      I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far,
      To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things.
      The road before me bends; I don't know what I'll find.
      Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind?
      Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise?
      For it's Your Hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things.


             (REF 1, except last line)


               Cm7          F7          BbM7                Bbm
   BRIDGE: For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams! You are the heart,

               Bbm/G              Gm7               Bb/C
           The very heart of the greater scheme of things! (REF 1, except last line)


      Gm7     Bb/C      F         F/A                 Bb
   REF2: Why don't we follow the voice that calls within,

           F            F/A            Bb
          Dance to the silent song it sings?

              Asus       A/C#      Dm       G/B                  F/C
          One day we'll find our place, for all things fall in place,

              Bb/C           F/A Bb  Bb/C                        F  F/A
          For all things have a place   in the greater scheme of  things.


   End: Bb - F F/A Bb-F/A-Gm7 F+2
