VERSE 1: (play intro/verse) 

if there's a goal that everyone remebers, it was back in ol' 72 
we all sqeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger 
and all I can remember is sitting beside you 
you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey 
and I never saw someone say that before 
you held my hand and we walked home the long way 
you were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr 

Chorus: 
C         G                  F 
Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished 
when the little sensation gets in your way 
not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder 
Isn't it amazing you can do anything 

VERSE 2: (play intro/verse) 

we hung out together every single moment 
cause that what we thought married people do 
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos 
and beleiving in the country of me and you 
crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin 
and yea we'd heard all that before 
it's wintertime the house is solidtude with options 
and loosening the grip on a fake cold war 

Chorus: 
C         G                  F 
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish 
when don't let the nation get in your way 
no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder 
Isn't it amazing you can do anything 

BRIDGE: 
G 
next to your comrades in the national fitness program 
caught in some eternal flexed arm hang 
droppin' to the mat in a fit of laughter 
showed no patience, tolerance or restraint 

VERSE 3: (play verse/Chorus) 

fireworks exploding in the distance 
temporary towers soar 
fireworks emulatin' heaven 
til there are no stars anymore 
fireworks aiming straight at heaven 
temporary towers soar 
til there are no stars shining up in heaven 
til there are no stars anymore 

Chorus: 
C         G                  F 
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish 
when the little sensation gets in your way 
no ambition whisperin' over your shoulder 
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh 
this one thing never goes away 
I think this one thing is always suppost to stay 
this one thing doesn't have to go away
