Em
All the journeys of this great adventure
It didn't always feel that way
I wouldn't trade them because I made them
The best I could, and that's enough to say

C
Some days were dark
Em
I wish that I could live it all again
A
Some nights were bright
Em
I wish that I could live it all again

All the highlights of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might
To what I felt back then
I wish that I could live it all again

Chorus:
Em                            Bm
I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
C                          A
Steer the airship right across the stars
   Em
I learned to fight, I learned to love,
   Bm
I learned to feel
C                       G#     A#    Em
Oh I wish that I could live it all again

All the treasures, the gold and glory
It didn't always feel that way
I don't regret it - I'll never forget it
I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today

Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again

Chorus

The days were dark
And the nights were bright
I would never trade tomorrow for today

All the highlights of that headlong flight
Holding on with all my might

Some days were dark
I wish that I could live it all again
Some nights were bright
I wish that I could live it all again

Chorus

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love,
I learned to steal
Oh I wish that I could...

Oh I wish that I could live it all again
