Intro
C#m A E x2
[Verse]
C#m
On the edge of blowin' away
E
I'll stay
This balance game
C#m
Is what I'm happy to play
E
Must be
F#m
This feeling of free
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
Don't you know I'm tired
Of these paint by numbers
E
Talk about my comfort
C#m
That's a risk I'm willing to ride
Amaj7
To try to be happy
F#m
Sounds like a plan to me
Don't it sound like
[Chorus]
E C#m
This is the fire that keeps me out all night
E
And still at church on time
C#m
And feeling light as anything
E C#m
This is the sun that keeps my mornings bright
Amaj7
That keeps my pocket tight
F#m
And somehow light as anything
E C#m
I'd say that life is better on my side
E
So come and waste some time
C#m A7
We could be light as anything
G#
Look down
A7
Do you see the ground?
F#m
Fade out
C#m Amaj7 E
[Verse]
C#m
Dad says don't be out late
E
Stay safe
C#m
I hope that we agree on what that all means
E
'Cause I've been
Itching for a little escape
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
Don't you know I'm tired
Of these paint by numbers
E
Journeys to discover
Happy's just a spot in my mind
C#m Amaj7
Breath a sigh of relief
F#m
Sounds like a plan to me
Don't it sound like
[Chorus]
E C#m
This is the fire that keeps me out all night
E
And still at church on time
C#m
And feeling light as anything
E C#m
This is the sun that keeps my mornings bright
Amaj7
That keeps my pocket tight
F#m
And somehow light as anything
E C#m
I'd say that life is better on my side
E
So come and waste some time
C#m A7
We could be light as anything
G#
Look down
A7
Do you see the ground?
F#m
Fade out
[Bridge]
G#
It should not be up to me
C#m
To say what gives you release
A E
It should be a world that you decided
G#
I keep my head in the clouds
C#m A
But keep my feet on the ground
That's for me
E A7
A world that I decided
G#m
So look down
A7
Wave goodbye to the ground
F#m
And watch what happens now
[Chorus]
E C#m
This is the fire that keeps me out all night
E
And still at church on time
C#m
And feeling light as anything
E C#m
This is the sun that keeps my mornings bright
Amaj7
That keeps my pocket tight
F#m
And somehow light as anything
E C#m
I'd say that life is better on my side
E
So come and waste some time
C#m A7
We could be light as anything
G#m
Won't you look down
A7
Wave goodbye to the ground
F#m
And watch what happens now
C#m Amaj7 E x2
