Horizon pales, _ _ she hits the [E] [D] ground.
_ _ _ [E] [A] Sirens [B] and _ scaffolds _ all [D] come and go.
_ Under the [A] weight of [E] heaven, _ _ _ if [D] only devotion _ _ could rise on a [Em] [D] word,
_ _ then you could [B] stumble _ _ and never be [D] _ hurt.
_ _ [A] You could let [E] go, _ _ _ _ breaking [F#m] your fall, _ _ _ breaking [A] your fall.

[Em] _ weathermen,
_ [D] they never could [Am] [B] push you _ as far as [D] I can, _ or they just let [E] you fall.
_ While [F#m] buildings [A] and bridges _ _ [D] just crash [Em] and [D] burn,
_ _ it's only a [Bm] cloud bank [B] _ _ bursting [D] in time.
_ They were made to [B] come [Em] down, _ _ _ [A] breaking [F#] your fall, _ _ _ [B] breaking [A] your [D] fall. _ _ _ _ _
[E] Breaking _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
