(First thing first... the base of all F#m7 is C#)

Intro: (D - F#m7 - G - A)2x

Verse:  D 
    F#m7         G
  I wanted to be safe
    A             D
  I wanted to get by
    F#m7           G
  I almost lost my edge
      A              D
  I could not fathom why
          F#m7        Bm
  But you would never let me
       E7                 G
  Your dang'rous side won out
             D              G
  'Cause you knew what I wanted
    A             D
  I wanted to get out

Chorus:
       F#m7        G
  It's a wide wide world
        A                  D
  And I almost lost you in it
       F#m7        G
  It's a chance to live
         A                D
  But it almost passed me by
          F#m7 Bm
  It's an open door 
     E7                 G
  To live for something better
             D            G
  'Cause you keep leading me
           A         D
  Into the wide wide world

Music: (D - F#m7 - G - A)2x

Verse:  D
      F#m7          G
  Did Moses want to turn back
        A                D
  After crossing the red sea?
    F#m7             G
  I bet that he got nervous
    A                 D
  I wish that I could see
              F#m7               Bm
  'Cause I've got the shakes all over
        E7            G
  And I want to turn around
          D                  G
  But I'm twice as scared of missing
      A                D
  The good that can be found

Chorus:
       F#m7        G
  It's a wide wide world
        A                  D
  And I almost lost you in it
       F#m7        G
  It's a chance to live
         A                D
  But it almost passed me by
          F#m7 Bm
  It's an open door 
     E7                 G
  To live for something better
             D            G
  'Cause you keep leading me
           A         D       D
  Into the wide wide world

Bridge:
         Bm               D
  'Cause you are past the borders
      Bm            D
  Somewhere off the map
                E7
  Of what feels comfortable
              G        A           D
  And I am so grateful  for that
       F#m7              G
  It's adventure that we want
           A                 D
  And it's what we'll fin'lly get
          F#m7          G            
  There's nothing safe about You
      A           D
  But sometimes I forget
     F#m7             Bm
  So lead me into the wide world
         E7             G
  Don't let me miss my chance
              D                  G
  'Cause I'll blink and it'll be over
              A         D      
  And I won't pass here again
