Creatures Of Habit

F C7 We're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream C7 They say that we had paradise when ignorance was bliss F They say that human knowledge was what sent things amiss Bb Well, one man's paradise is oft another person's hell C7 F And if we had found another dream, perhaps it's just as well C7 For we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream C7 They said the Earth was square and flat, that it had corners four F They said that you'd fall off it if you sailed away from shore Bb It goes to prove you can't believe just anything they say; C7 F Some dreamer's going to try to do what can't be done one day C7 Cause we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream C7 They said it was a waste of time to build flying machines; F If man was really meant to fly, God would have made him wings Bb So when you're sipping cocktails on a mid-Atlantic flight C7 F Drink a toast to all the dreamers who brought you to that height! C7 Cause we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream C7 They said that building rockets was another waste of cash F That man was never meant for space, the craze would never last Bb Well, we've been to the Moon and back and left our footprints there; C7 F Our shuttle flights are monthly now, with cargo space to spare C7 And we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream C7 They say the stars are out of reach, too far away to roam F They say the speed of light's a wall that'll keep mankind at home Bb That interstellar travel's an escapist sci-fi dream— C7 F Well, that may be, but I, for one, am not afraid to dream! C7 We're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown F Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone Bb The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems C7 F But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
