I Can't Touch The Sun

Written by Shel Silverstein

	  		

First Verse 


E 
I can't touch the clouds for you, 
E                    B 
I'll never reach the Sun for you. 
B 
I've never done the things 
B             E 
That you need done for you. 
E 
I've stretched as high as I can reach 
E                   A 
I guess I'm not the one for you; 
A      B                                     E 
'Cause I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun for you, 
E  B                                     E 
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun. 


Second Verse 


E 
I can't turn back time for you, 
E                     B 
And make you sweet sixteen again, 
B 
And I can't turn your barren fields 
B  E 
To green again. 
E 
And I won't sit around and talk 
E                        A 
Of how things might have been again, 
A  B                                   E 
No I can't turn back time and make you young again. 
B                                   E 
I can't turn back time and make you young. 


Third Verse 


E B 
I hope you find somebody who 
B   A               E 
Can do the things I didn't do 
E   A             E 
And find a road I didn't find 
E   B                E 
And build a brighter world for you. 
E B 
I hope you find somebody bold 
B         A         E 
Enough to reach and take a hold 
E   A               E 
And guide your ever changing mind 
E   A              B 
And free your ever rising soul. 
B     A          B 
But I can't. No, I can't. 


Fourth verse 


E 
I can't look inside your mind 

And see the things you're hoping for. 

And I can't help you chase the dream 

You're groping for. 

You say your arms are open wide, 

But lord knows who they're open for. 

I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you. 

No, I can't chase your dreams or know your mind. 


Fifth Verse 


F# 
So say goodbye, and don't look back 
F#                  C# 
I've had some happy days with you, 
C#                           F# 
Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you. 
F# 
And when they ask about me, 
F#                    B 
You can say I was the one with you; 
B   C#                                      F# 
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you. 
F#  C#                                    E 
No, I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun. 


Outro 


F# B          C# 
I  guess it's done, 
C#                F#                     C# 
I can't touch the sun for you. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh! 
C#                F# 
I can't touch the sun. I can't. No, no, I can't. 
F#  C#        F# 
Ooh hoo, oh no. 
F#                C# 
I can't touch the sun, no, no, no. 
F# 
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. 
F# 
I can't. No, no, I can't. 
F#  C#        F# 
Ooh hoo, oh no. 
F#                C# 
I can't touch the sun, 
C#                F# 
I can't touch the sun...
