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

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

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

(E)I can't look inside your mind 
And see the things you're hoping (B)for. 
And I can't help you chase the dream 
You're (E)groping for. 
You say your arms are open wide, 
But lord knows who they're (A)open for. 
I (B)can't know your mind or chase your (E)dreams with you. 
No, (B)I can't chase your dreams or know your (E)mind. 

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

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

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
