[G] [Eb]
[Gm]
[Eb]
I found [Bb] myself between two places Neither of them [Eb] home
Could not recognize the faces Never felt so [Ab] alone
So [Eb] alone
Found myself between two choices To settle or to move on
All my life I've heard the voices This time, I'm the [Ab] only one
[Eb] The only one
[Ab] I wanna feel [Gm] what the wind [Bb] feels [Ab] like I wanna go [Gm] that [Bb] high
[Ab] Feel no fear [Gm] instead of being [Bb] down [Cm] here Holding up [Eb] the [Bb] sky
[Cm] Holding up [Eb] the sky
Life astounds us in an instant Changing all we know
But just once and then you've missed it All that you can do is watch [Ab] it go
Watch [Eb] it go
[Ab] You wanna feel [Eb] what the wind [Bb] feels [Ab] like You wanna go [Eb] that [Bb] high
[Ab] Feel no fear instead of being [Bb] down [Cm] here Holding up [Eb] the [Bb] sky
[Cm] Holding up [Ab] the sky
[Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Gm] [Bb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Cm] [Ab] [Eb] I found myself between two lifetimes A sunset and a dawn
I reached out and took [Ab] the life [Eb] I'm Offered up between here [Ab] and all
[Eb] Here and all
We [Ab] wanna feel [Eb] what the wind [Bb] feels like [Ab] We wanna go [Eb] that [Bb] high
[Ab] Feel no fear [Gm] instead of being [Bb] down [Cm] here Holding up [Eb] the [Bb] sky
[Ab] I wanna know [Gm] what the wind [Bb] feels [Ab] like I wanna go [Eb] that high
[Ab] Feel no fear instead of being [Bb] down here [Cm] Holding up [Eb] the [Bb] sky
[Cm] Holding up [Eb] the sky
[Cm] Holding up the sky
