Verse 1:
 
    Cm                    Eb              Ab                       G
The first time I ever saw you You had that far away look in your eyes
    Cm                            Eb          Ab                          G
And heaven's eyes shined down upon you And the whole room filled up with light
        Cm                                   Eb         Ab                               G
Now the cruel world it's gonna try and change you Try to hang you up and mess with your pride
        Cm                         Eb            Ab                           G
Now the rich and just try to chain you You got to keep your fire burning inside

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you And it seems to love watching you fall
  Cm                           Eb               Ab                       G
I wont lie to you, it's gonna happen You got to pick yourself up and move on

Good chart, thanks. I hear a couple of additions: Cm, Adim, Ab, Eb, Bb/D... Bb, Cm, Ab, Eb, Baug (or Eb/B-natural) The two on each line are quick passing chords and the Baug on the last line of the chorus might go back to the Bb/D again as used in the verse
