(from “Dear Evan Hansen” soundtrack)

[Intro]
Esus2 Emaj9 E/A
Esus2/A

[Verse 1]
Esus2
End of May or early June
Emaj9 E/A
This pictureperfect afternoon we shared
Esus2/A Esus2
Drive the winding country road
Emaj9
Grab a scoop at A La Mode
E/A
And then we’re there
Esus2/A Asus2
An open field that’s framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Esus2
Like buddies do
Asus2
Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Esus2
Except us two
C#m A Bsus4
And we talk and take in the view

[Chorus]
E E/D# E/G# E/A
All we see is sky for forever
E E/D# E/G# E/A
We let the world pass by for forever
E/C# E/B E/A E/G#
Feels like we could go on for forever this way
F#7 Asus2 Bsus4
Two friends on a perfect day

[Verse 2]
Esus2 Emaj9 E/A Esus2/A Esus2
We walk a while and talk about
Emaj9 E/A
The things we’ll do when we get out of school
Esus2 Emaj9
Bike the Appalachian trail or
Write a book or learn to sail
E/A
Wouldn’t that be cool?
Asus2
There’s nothing that we can’t discuss
Esus2
Like girls we wish would notice us but never do
Asus2
He looks around and says to me
“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be”
Esus2
And I say, “Me too”
C#m A
And we talk and take in the view
Bsus4 C#m A Bsus4
We just talk and take in the view

[Chorus]
E E/D# E/G# E/A
All we see is sky for forever
E E/D# E/G# E/A
We let the world pass by for forever
E/C# E/B E/A E/G# D Asus2
Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way
E E/D# E/G# E/A
All we see is light for forever
E E/D# E/G# E/A
‘Cause the sun shines bright for forever
E/C# E/B E/A E/G# F#7
Like we’ll be alright for forever this way
Asus2 Bsus4 Esus2
Two friends on a perfect day

[Bridge]
Cadd9 G/B
And there he goes
Em7 Dsus4
Racing toward the tallest tree
Cadd9 G/B
From far across the yellow field
Em7 Dsus4 Dsus2 Asus2/C#
I hear him calling, “Follow me” There we go
F#m Esus4 Dsus2
Wondering how the world might look from up so high
One foot after the other
One branch then to another
Esus4
I climb higher and higher
I climb ‘til the entire
F#m D E7/D D
Sun shines on my face
F#m E Asus2/C# Dsus2
And I suddenly feel the branch give way
A/E
I’m on the ground
F#7sus2 F#m
My arm goes numb
I look around
A/E A/B
And I see him come to get me
He’s come to get me
D Esus4
And everything’s okay

[Chorus]
Gb Gb/F Gb/Bb Gb/Cb
All we see is sky for forever
Gb Gb/F Gb/Bb Gb/Cb
We let the world pass by for forever
Ebm7 Dbadd11 Bsus2 Gb/Bb Esus2 Bsus2
Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way
Gb Gb/F Gb/Bb Gb/Cb
All we see is light
Gb Gb/F Gb/Bb Gb/Cb
‘Cause the sun burns bright
Ebm7 Dbadd11 Bsus2 Gb/Bb
We could be alright for forever this way

[Outro]

Two friends

On a perfect day
