F                            Am 
  Facing towards the heavens    I fell into a pitch black.

  I'm moments from landing and I'm    shaking like a heart attack.

higher than myself. Live and die for anyone else.

The more I live I see this life's not about me. 

F                              Am 
  All I know spins out of control. Wonder what's next for heart and soul.

  Nothing I earned can save me now hearing one day be my final hour.

   Don't wanna leave this world knowing I preach in vain. 
       Am                  G          Em 
Looked out for myself  so sorry so ashamed. 
Dm                               F 
   Don't wanna leave this life knowing I barely tried

Chased all my dreams that I can't weigh on the inside.

The more I live I see that this life's not about me.
