From the movie, Brave Little Toaster

D#m E F#m A

G# A G# F#

B - C# - E - F# -
Life is like a journey on a road that's within
B - C# - E - F# -
Head says you should stay, but your heart says to begin
G#
So you go
F# - B
But you don't wanna go

B - C# - E - F# -
Any life worth living isn't life just filled with ease
B - C# - E - F# -
You just stay forgiving through the forest and the trees
G#
And you'll go
F# - B
Just where you wanna go

G - A - B - - C
Time flies by in the city of light
G - A - B - - G
Time stands still in the country
G - A - B - - C
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
G - A - B
As we travel the land
E - D - D# - E -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
G
To reside with some pride
C
While I ride
G
To the city, the city of light!

E - F# - A - B

B - C# - E - F# -
Light shines like a diamond in the city at night
B - C# - E - F# -
When that diamond shines you know that everything's all right
G#
But you know
F# - B
We got a way to go

B - C# - E - F# -
Let us meet the master, we don't wanna make him wait
B - C# - E - F# -
You just keep a-knockin' He will open up the gate
G#
To that city of light

F# - B--A--G#--F#

G A - B -
Master is a man with a plan I can understand
G - A - B - G -
Master is a man of great reflection
G A - B -
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
G - A - B
Master is the man of our affection

G - A - B - - C
Time flies by in the city of light
G - A - B - - G
Time stands still in the country
G - A - B - - C
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
G - A - B
As we travel the land
E - D - D# - E -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
G
To reside with some pride
C
While I ride
G
To the city, the city of light!
