E                         B 
Skies hang heavy and they gather in the field of view 
E                           B 
Lift them higher so they're never hanging over you 
G 
Carry the load, with all your might 
B 
It's sinking though you'll be alright 
A           G 
Coming down 
E                           B 
Reach a plateau, but you're feeling like you just begun 
E                    B 
In the shadow of the heaven that you're holding on 
G 
Nervous or something, birds are bright 
B 
Cut all the lights, lit up the night 
A           G 
What a sight 
E                   B 
Looking over on the city that you once belonged 
E                           B 
Shrug your shoulders at the people who have done you wrong 
G 
Walking about the crowded street 
B 
The ones you love ten thousand feet 
A     G 
Below 
 E                               B 
Take the throne back, now we're singing the same old song 
E                             B 
Hold the throne now cause you never loved to move along 
G 
Never give up all through the years 
B 
It's plain to see, straight through the tears 
A            G 
your mistakes 



D            C          G          
Holding the sky and the Earth

Looking down to the worms 
    A               G 
Way below, standing tall 
Bb  A

We'll be closer when you turn the world upon its head

Hand it over and we know how long it will take

Show me your hands so I can see 
B 
I'll understand more easily 
A            G 
All the time 
E                       B 
Break the silence if we think it's turning into sound
