Some thing has (Gsus2)changed with in me,
some thing is (Gsus2)not the same.
I’m through with (Gsus2)play ing by the (D)rules of (Gsus2)some one (Csus2)else ’s game.
Too late for (Dsus)sec cond guess ing, too late to go (D5)back to sleep.
It’s time to (G)trust my in stincts, (Gsus2)close my eyes and (Asus)leap...
It’s time to try
de (Gsus2)fy
ing (Asus)grav i ty.
I think I’ll try

I’m (A)through (D)ac (Gsus2)cept ing (A)lim its ’cause some one (Gsus2)says they’re (Dsus)so.
Some (A)things (D)I (Gsus2)can not (A)change, but (D)’til I (Gsus2)try I’ll (Csus2)nev er know.
Too long I’ve (Dsus)been a fraid of (Csus2)los ing love I (D5)guess I’ve lost.
Well, if that’s (G)love, it comes at (Gsus2)much too high a (Asus)cost...

Kiss me good bye,

(Ab)But I (Abmaj7)swear some day I’ll (Dbmaj7)be

Fly ing so high,
de (Fsus2)fy

So if you (Gsus2)care to find me, look to the (Gsus2)west ern (A)sky.
As (A)some (D)one (Gsus2)told me (A)late ly: (Em)Ev ’ry (Em)one de (D)serves the chance to (Csus2)fly!
And if I’m (D5)fly ing so lo, at least I’m (D5)fly ing free.
To those who’d (G)ground me, take a (Gsus2)mes sage back from (Asus)me...
Tell them how I

(D)Ah!
