Reaching The Potential

Silent Film


Tom: Bb

  Eb                   Bb     F
A scholar's wind in a boxing ring
     Eb                Bb         F
Went floating by on a hummingbird wing
Eb              Bb       F
Wide enough to guide you in
Bb                               F
With a sun in rise, we started shivering

[Verse 1]
Gm
And anyway we know how
Eb
We're gonna get our bellies full
Bb
Living on a fault line
F
Are we reaching our potential?

Gm
Animals in cages
Eb
Actors on a payroll
Bb
And maybe in our lifetime
F
Are we reaching our potential?

[Chorus]
Eb                  Cm
When you reach your potential
Cm           Gm
We reach our potential
Gm          Bb                       F
We'll be laughing with our bellies full
Eb
Ooohhhh

[Verse 2]
Gm
Anyway we know how
Eb
We're gonna get our bellies full
Bb
While living on a fault line
F
Are we reaching our potential?

Gm
Animals in cages
Eb
Actors on a payroll
Bb
Maybe in our lifetime
F
Are we reaching our potential?

Gm
With tyrants on a soapbox
Eb
With orders for the front line
Bb
We're fighting for our children
F
Are we reaching our potential?

Gm
Runners in a rainstorm
Eb                   Bb
To cut across enemy lines
Bb
I love you, do you love me?
F
But are we reaching our potential?

[Chorus]
Eb                     Cm
When you reach your potential
Cm              Gm
We reach our potential
Gm                                  F
We'll be laughing with our bellies full

Eb                     Cm
When you reach your potential
Cm              Gm
We reach our potential
Gm        Bb                          F
We'll be laughing with our bellies full

Eb                              Cm
With orders for the front line (reaching our potential)
Gm                       F
Living on a fault line (reaching our potential)
Eb                       Cm
Maybe in your life time (reaching our potential)
Gm   Bb                 F
And maybe in your life time.
