 Verse
 C#m  B  A                                 
 Every face, even the one you saw yesterday
 It looks different today
 'Cos everything's changed since yesterday
 In every possible way
 Things seem different today
 Not like yesterday
 
 Pre-Chorus
 A   C#m  B      
 Is consideration
 A   C#m  B            
 More like an exception
 A   C#m  B       
 of consideration?
 A C#m B 
    
 Chorus 1
 C#m     E       B       A                   
 'Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
 C#m     E       B       A                   
 And what if you held the world in your arms?
 
 Verse
 C#m  B  A                                  
 When you're secure, do you feel much safer?
 As days never change, and it's three years later
 It's like your life hasn't changed,
 And it's three years late, so how does it feel, to be
 three years late? And watching your youth drift away
 What seems different, seems
 different today and what seems different, seems
 different today
 
 Pre-Chorus
 A   C#m  B      
 Is consideration
 A   C#m  B            
 More like an exception
 A   C#m  B       
 of consideration?
 A C#m B

 You have the world in your arms tonight
