Intro: E

Asus4     A           E 
This is a call to the colorblind
Eadd9        E
This is an IOU
    Asus4      A          A   
I'm stranded behind the horizon line
E7                   E 
Tied up in something new

BRIDGE CHORDS
E
Yes I'm grounded
D
Got my wings clipped
C#m               
I'm surrounded by 
Am
All this pavement
E
Guess  I'll circle 
D
While I'm waiting 
Em7
For my fears to dry

CHORUS CHORDS

             C#m        E          A
Someday I'll fly someday I'll soar
             C#m       E          A  
Someday I'll be so damn much more
          C#m            E                A 
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

VERSE CHORDS 
Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin i've been triping in
Never to quite return

And it might be over in a seconds time
