[E] Imagine you're [A] a girl on ten mile stilts You travel around the world taking it all
in And you'll [E] never touch the ground
[A] Is it a blessing or [E] a curse?
If you're too high to be found Are you lost or just [A] reheard?
[C#m]
[E] [A] I've got a heart that opens clear In this cool September dark
[E] And it rests on treetop leaves
[A] And it bursts its little sparks
[F#m] Sometimes it sings [E] its songs And it lets its secrets [A] out
[F#m] Except for [E] what sears [A] inside That it cannot live [E] without
[D] But if I tell you, will you take it?
Will you shine it up to me?
And can you be strong to let me go [F#] on And [F#m] set this [A] freedom free?

[E] But [A] I have learned what come To those who get too close
[F#m] And I'm no anchor, us [A] in flight And I'm old enough to know
[F#m] Love is [E] patient, [A] but still unyielding If you leave it long enough, it lets [E] you go
[C#m] But [A] [D] if I [A] tell you, will you take it?
Will you shine it up to me?
And can you be strong to let me go [F#m] on And set this [A] freedom free?
