AmDm
Well, it's strange my head is rememberin'
GA
How the airplane flying overhead
AmDm
Looks so effortless, but I cannot guess
GAm
Why it lingers in my mind
AmDm
Evening after this, I'm a crying mess
GAm
And to be stronger now, my only wish
AmDm
So I can finally have the bravery
GAm
So I can reach on up to the sky
[PreChorus 1]
Dm
This cruel fate engraving
Am
It's carved into the stone
FG
Hoping it reveals itself all to me and then I will
Know just where to go
Dm
This moment, this moment
Am
I know that I can breathe
DmEm
Hanging on a feeling... believe in
FG
My only meaning!
[Chorus]
FG
I hear a voice a' calling, telling me to risk it
AmC
Asking if I have been going the distance
FEAmC
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny
FG
My eyes are swollen with the tears that I've been crying
AmC
But, to the rest of the world, ever smiling
FE
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
FAm
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G#A#C
Write a story of a hero!
[Verse 2]
Dm
I didn't want to say
Am
I protected you
FG
and you were never weak i'm number two
Dm
you were stronger than i've ever been
Am
and you mean more to me than you know
Dm
i've changed myself since the day i yelled
Em
about how you go on by yourself
F
so if you have to laught i should thell you that!
G
i'm afraid that i'm all alone
[PreChorus 2]
Dm
I'm kicking
Am
I'm biting
F
Impossible to breath
Dm
going down below the depths
Am
of my troubled head
Dm
and i can feel my stomach heave
EmF
i see it, i need it, it calms the blood that beats
Am
if only i could touch it
DmG
i know that its mine for keeping
[Chorus]
FG
I hear a voice a' calling, telling me to risk it
AmC
Asking if I have been going the distance
FEAmC
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny
FG
My eyes are swollen with the tears that I've been crying
AmC
But, to the rest of the world, ever smiling
FE
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
FAm
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G#A#C
Write a story of a hero!
[Bridge]
Dm
Those days gettin' rowdy, gettin' bloody, I was
Am
All scraped, gettin' worn and gettin' dirty, now I
FG
Hear you talkin' and it all is coming back
DmAm
I see it in my mind - my memories revived
Dm
I could apologize for sleeping in a chrysalis and
Em
WIth every passing night, I wish that I was leaving it and
FG
I swear that I'll be back again!
Oh, woah, ohh
Oh, woah, ohh
Oh, woah, ohh ohh
Oh, woah, ohh
Oh, woah, ohh
Oh, woah, ohh
[Chorus]
FG
I hear a voice a' calling, telling me to risk it
AmC
Asking if I have been going the distance
FEAmC
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny
FG
My eyes are swollen with the tears that I've been crying
AmC
But, to the rest of the world, ever smiling
FE
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
FAm
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G#A#C
