Lyrics

(Bb)When did life be come so (Dm)com pli ca ted?

(Gm)Years of too much thought ly one and (Dm)time I wast strong ed.

(Eb)Run And in each pre line up on my (Bb)face

is (Cm7)proof I fought and (Eb)lived an oth er (F)day.

I (Bb)When did life be come this (Dm)place of mad ness?

(Gm)Drift ing on an emp ty sea of (Dm)waves of sad laugh ness.

I make be lieve I’m in con (Bb)trol

and (Cm7)dream it was n’t all my (F)fault.

(F)When your (Bb)feet don’t touch the (Bb)ground

and your (Gm)world’s turned up side (Dm)down,

here it’s safe

in this (Bb)place

a bove the (F)clouds.

When your (Bb)feet don’t touch the (Bb)earth

you can’t (Gm)feel the things that (Dm)hurt

and you’re free,

there’s no (Bb)need

to come (F)down.

(F)out.

(F)’Cause my (G)feet are on the ground

and the (Em)in ner voice I found,

tells the (C)truth,

there’s no (G)use if your head’s in the (D)clouds.

(Em)I was once like (Bm)you,

(C)life was a (G)maze,

(Am)I could n’t (Cmaj7)find my (Bm)way out.

But (F#m)what I say is (C#m)true,

(D)you’ll be a (A)mazed,

(Bm7)make be lieve and you will (E)find out that it’s true.

know what is true.

When your (C)feet don’t touch the (C)ground

and your (Am)world’s turned up side (Em)down,

here it’s safe

in this (C)place

a bove the (G)clouds.

When your (C)feet don’t touch the (C)earth

you can’t (Am)feel the things that (Em)hurt

and you’re free,

there’s no (C)need

to come (G)down.

When your (F)feet don’t touch the ground,

when your feet don’t touch the ground.
