If I Could Be Anywhere Jackson Browne
[intro]
[Dm]
[Verse]
[G]Sliding on the shimmering [Bb]surface between two [F]worlds
[G]Standing at the center of [Bb]time as it [F]uncurls
[Gm]Cutting through the veil of [Bb]illusion
[Gm]Moving beyond past [Dm]conclusions
[Gm]Rendering all dou[Bb]bt and confusion [F]clear
[Cborus]
[Dm]If I could be anywhere
If I could be [F]anywhere
If I could be [Bb]anywhere right n[Eb]ow
I would want to be [F]here
[Verse]
[G]Searching for the future [Bb]among the things we're throwing [F]away
[G]Swimming through the ocean of [Bb]junk we produce every [F]day
[Gm]You have to admit it's [Bb]clever
Maybe the [Gm]pinnacle of human end[Dm]eavor
When things are [Gm]made to throw away but n[Bb]ever made to disap[F]pear
[Cborus]
[Dm]If I could be anywhere
If I could be [F]anywhere
If I could be [Bb]anywhere in [Eb]time
I would want to be [F]here
[Verse]
[Dm]The Romans, the [F]Spanish, the [A]British, the [Bb]Dutch
[Dm]American exc[F]eptionalism - [Eb]so out of [Bb]touch
[Dm]Successions of [F]empire rep[A]eating its [Bb]course
[A]Extracting the [Gm]wealth and [A]ruling by [Gm]force
[A]On and [A]on[sus] through [A]time
[Pre - Cborus]
But the [Bb]world can't [F]take it [A]very much [Dm]longer
And [Bb]we won't [F]make it 'less we're [A]smarter and [Dm]stronger
The [Bb]world's gonna sha[F]ke itself [A]free [Dm]of our[Eb] greed[C] somehow
[Cborus]
[Dm]If I could be anywhere
If I could be [F]anywhere in time
If I could be [Bb]anywhere and [Eb]change things
It would have to be [F]now
[Bridge]
They [Eb]say nothing lasts for[Bb]ever
But all the [F]plastic ever [A]made is still [Dm]here
And [Eb]no amount of closing our[Bb] eyes will make it [F]disappear
[Pre - Cborus]
And the [Bb]world can't [F]take it [A]very much [Dm]longer
And [Bb]we won't [F]make it 'less we're [A]smarter and [Dm]stronger
The [Bb]world's gonna [F]shake itself [A]free of[Dm] our g[Eb]reed [C]somehow
And the [Bb]world can't [F]take it, [A]that you can [Dm]see
If the [Bb]oceans don't [F]make it [A]neither will [Dm]we
The [Bb]world's gonna [F]shake itself [A]all the [Dm]way fre[Eb]e some[C]how
[Cborus]
[Dm]If I could be anywhere
If I could be [F]anywhere in time
If I could be [Bb]anywhere and [Eb]change the outcome
It would have to be [F]now
