Intro
Mute strumming
C G
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
F C
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
G
I wake up with it in the morning, I fall asleep with it at night
F C
It follows me like a favorite pet, it never leaves my side
G
It's a symbol of the mess I've made, it's the part that won't come clean
F C
I've tried before to scrape it off, it's not as easy as it seems
G
So I take it out and look at it, and copy it to scale,
F C
I write it all in letters I never plan to mail
G
But if I did I hope you'd find comfort in the words
F C
A message of intended good, a peace that you deserve
G
I hope that every weakened state has strength not far ahead
F C
And every time we think to lie the truth comes out instead
G
Because gravity and weightlessness exist at the same time
F C
For me the only difference is the willingness to fly
C G
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
F C
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
G
I wish that I were purposeful, instead I'm insecure
F C
The locks have all been cut off, I'm naked and unsure
G
I wish that it was new years eve because then I would declare
F C
From this day on I'll learn to breathe, stop holding onto air
G
From this day on I'll watch the world revolve around the sun
F C
Stop screaming at the weatherman each time he gets it wrong
G
Stop begging you to see me for more than I really am
F C
Start letting all the children out who live inside the man
G
I'll notice what's around me, appreciate what's true
F C
And every time I see your soul, I'll show you that I do
G
Because honesty is such a prize, what a gift you give to me
F C
And every time you open up you teach me to be free
C G
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
F C
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
G
Freedom can be frightening, sometimes I want to die
F C
Sometimes I am a sloppy mess, sometimes I have to cry
G
But every cry has been a song and every song a prayer
F C
And every word I give to God lifts up into the air
G
Explodes in every color, turns into energy
F C
And lets me know the world is bigger, bigger than me.
