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.

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...

And I’ve just had a (Bbmaj7)vi sion al most (Am11)like a proph e (Dm7)cy.
(Csus)I (Bbm)know (F)it sounds tru ly (Bb)cra zy, and (F)true, the vi sion’s (C7sus)ha zy...
(Ab)But I (Abmaj7)swear some day I’ll (Dbmaj7)be
up in the sky,
