Lyrics

One shot to your heart with out break ing your (Am)skin. No one has the (Em7)pow er to hurt you like your (C)kin. Kept it in side, did n’t tell no one (Am)else. Did n’t e ven (Em7)wan na ad mit it to your (C)self. And now your chest burns and (Bbmaj7)your back aches from (B)fif teen (E)years (Fmaj7)of hold ing the pain. And now you’ll (D)on ly have your (E)self to blame if you con (Am)tin ue to live this (Bbmaj9)way. (Get it to geth You er. wan na heal your bod y. Get it to geth You er.) have to heal your heart. What so ev er (Am)you sow you will reap. (Em7)Get it to geth er. Oh. You (Am)can fly, fly. Dark fu ture a head of me, that’s what they (Am)said. I’d be starv ing if I (Em7)ate all the lies they (C)fed. ’Cause I’ve been re deemed from your an guish and (Am)pain, a mir a cle child, I’m float ing on a (C)cloud. ’Cause the (Am)words that come from your mouth, you’re the first to hear. Speak words (E)of beau ty and you will be there. No mat ter what (E)an y bod y says, what (Am)mat ters most is what you think of your self. The choice is yours; don’t mat (C9)ter what it is. To choose (Fmaj7)life is (Em)to choose to for (Am7)give. You don’t have to try and hurt him (C9)or break his pride. Just (Fmaj7)shake that weight off and you’ll (A)be read y to fly. One shot to your heart with out break ing your (Am)skin. No one has the (Em7)pow er to hurt you like your (C)friends. Thought it would nev er (Dm7)change but as time moved (Am)on, that ug ly duck (Em7)ling grew up to be a swan. And now your chest burns and (Bbmaj7)your back aches be (B)cause now the (E)years are show (Fmaj7)ing up on your face. But you’ll (D)nev er be hap py and you’ll (E)nev er be whole un (Am)til you see the beau ty (Bbmaj9)in grow ing old. (Get it to geth You er. wan na heal your bod y. Get it to geth You er.) have to heal your heart. What so ev er (Am)you sow you will reap. (Em7)Get it to geth er. You can (Dm7)fly, fly, fly, fly. You can (Em7)live or you can (C)die. You know that (Dm7)life is a choice you (Am)make. You can (Em7)give or you can take. You can (Dm7)fly, fly, fly, fly. You can (Em7)fly, fly, fly, fly. You can (Dm7)fly, fly, fly, fly. You can (Em7)fly, fly, fly, fly. You can (Dm7)fly...
