E      G#m              A             D              E
It was meant to be, but all along it never meant a thing
Never stopped to ask you why you didn't pass me by
Did you see me when your life flashed before your eyes?
Was it just that I wasn't hard enough, hard enough for you?

E                  D A            E
Stop stop stop stop - Stop using my
Stop stop stop stop - confusion
Stop stop stop stop - wait, wait

Chorus:
          F#m         A               E
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
           D    G             A
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
        F#m       A            E
Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish)
           D          G
There's a world out there

Elementary, I solved them all, all your mysteries
Settle down and in good time, we can solve all mine
Tell me lies or tell me when, tell me off again
I will let you know when I've had enough, had enough of you

Stop using my
Confusion
Wait, wait

Chorus:
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (There's a world out there)
There's a world out there (Don't you deny me)

I know you've got your reasons, hey, let's call it even
Turn out all the lights and go to bed
Still I get this feeling, no one will believe me
When I let these ghosts outside my head

Chorus:
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
There's a world out there (There's a world out there)
Don't you deny me (Don't you deny me)
Give me one last wish (There's a world out there)
There's a world out there (Don't you deny me)
