Lyrics

I turn the (C)mu sic up, I got my rec ords on.

I shut the (G)world out side un til the lights come on.

May be the (C)street’s a light, may be the trees are gone, but I feel my (G)heart start beat ing to my fav ’rite song.

And all the (C)kids they dance, all the kids all night, un til (G)Mon day morn ing feels an oth er life.

I turn the (Em)mu sic up, I’m on a roll this time, and (C)heav en is in sight.

I turn the a full stop.

May be I’m (C)in the black, may be I’m on my knees.

May be I’m (G)in the gap be tween the two tra pe zes.

But my (Em)heart is beat ing and my puls es start; ca (C)the drals in my heart.

As we saw,

oh, this (G)light,

I swear (Em)you e merge blink ing in to, to (C)tell me it’s al right.

As we soar

walls...

Ev ’ry si ren is a (Em)sym

pho ny and ev ’ry tear’s a (C)wa

ter fall, is a wa ter fall,

oh, is a wa ter fall,

oh, is a, is a wa ter fall.

Ev ’ry tear is a, is a wa ter fall,

oh.

So you can hurt,

hurt me bad.

But still I’ll raise

the flag.

It was a (G)wa a a a (C)a ter fall.

A (G)wa a a a (C)a ter fall.

Ev ’ry tear,

ev ’ry tear,

ev ’ry tear is a wa ter fall.

Ev ’ry tear,

ev ’ry tear,

ev ’ry tear is a wa ter fall.
