D Em Well if you're so low below then why you watching? Am Em You say good things come to those who wait D D I've been waiting a long time for it [Chorus1] Am Em G I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_ Am Em G and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_ Am Em G Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_ Am Em G and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_ [Verse2] (Riff1) Am Em You say your quest is to bring it higher D Em Well I never seen change without a fire Am Em But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning D D But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning Am Em Your face, the colours change from green to yellow D Em To the point where you can't even say hello Am Em You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out D D Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about [Chorus1] Am Em G I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_ Am Em G and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_ Am Em G Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_ Am Em G and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_ Break drums [Bridge] C G It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool C G Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through C Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!), Em turn in the spitfire (open fire!) Am Scream without making a sound (open fire!), C be up here and not look down (open fire!) D because we're all afraid of heights [Chorus2] Am Em G I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_ Am Em G and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_ Am Em G Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_ Am Em G and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ STAY TRUE TO MY__ Am Em G se___elf____ my___se___elf____ my__ Am Em G se___elf____ my___se___elf____ my__ Am Em G se___elf____ my___se___elf____ my__ (Are you feeling me?
