verse 1 
       G                  C         G 
We are passing this world on to our kids 
         C                                   Am 
From the moment that they climb out of their cribs   
       D 
And we try to teach them well and show them they are loved 
           C                              D 
But in the end all we can do, is hope our best is good enough 
            G                               G7 
For they'll witness how this life can be so beautiful and cruel 
         C                               C#dim7 
We can't shelter them forever, but if we show them all the tools 
           D                     D#dim7        Em                C 
They might leave this place in a little better shape than me and you 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through 

        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      A7           D 
We are only passing through 
        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through 


verse 2 
               G                   C               G 
And we've been watching this world from our living rooms 
               C                                  Am 
It's been near forty years since we walked on the moon   
         D 
And this big blue ball keeps shrinking and I don't know if that's good 
        C                                   D 
But for better or for worse now, this whole world's our neighbourhood 
        G                                     G7 
There's no place left to run to where you can stay above the fray 
       C                                  C#dim7 
We all learn to need to get along and not just get our way 
    D             D#dim7            Em                  C 
Not only for each other but for our children's children too 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through 

        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      A7           D 
We are only passing through 
        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through
 

verse 3 
  G                C                G 
I wonder sometimes what I will pass on 
        C                                 Am 
And how much can one voice do with just a song   
            D 
Sometimes injustice and indifference are the only things I see 
        C                              D 
But I refuse to let my hope become the latest casualty 
        G                                 G7 
So I'll sing of love and truth and try to practice all I preach 
       C                                         C#dim7 
And if I can't change the world, I'll change the world within my reach 
         D               D#dim7              Em              C 
And what better place to start than here and now with me and you 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through 

        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      A7           D 
We are only passing through 
        G                C 
Passing through, passing through 
G      D            G 
We are only passing through
