I was never one to hold out well under pressure.
D5And (xx023x@1)I hope you can find me.
       Bb5 (x133xx@1)                     F5 (133xxx@1)    G5 (355xxx@1)    D5I've (xx023x@1)gotta find myself before I can move on this time.

Can we penetrate the barricades created by me?           
F5 (133xxx@1)               G5 (355xxx@1)                  A5 (x022xx@1)           C5 (x355xx@1)

D5 (xx023x@1)                 F5 (133xxx@1)               Bb5 (x133xx@1) And I can feel the tension in your words,
(Bb5)
Screaming for me
   G5To (355xxx@1)understand what you've been thinking.
D5 (xx023x@1)              F5 (133xxx@1) There's a cloud casting o'er your head.
Bb5Can't (x133xx@1)see anything clear;

G5You're (355xxx@1)only seeing who you were.

VERSE 2:

Bb5 (x133xx@1)         C5 (x355xx@1)  Too far to reach I'll say...
D5 (xx023x@1)           F5 (133xxx@1) She's on the tips of my fingers.
Bb5 (x133xx@1) Don't let her fall!
C5 (x355xx@1)                  D5 (xx023x@1) There will be no re-turn...

[palm-muted]

F5The (133xxx@1)burdened act which brought
                       D5Us (xx023x@1)to a halt will some-day make us stronger!

Let's stop everything;
Exchange all that we know...                                      D5x8
It's much better without having gravity holding you down from the air.
