Intro

Em                              G 
Finally I'm laying down these arms 
Em                                   G 
The ones I held so close to see me through 
C                   G             Am 
And I'm just like a sparrow in a barn 
C                   G             D 
I'm flyin' for that tiny patch of blue 

D        G    C 
I dive head-first into the dark 
                            G 
I don't look back, I just keep stumbling 
D  G        C 
I trip and fall 
C 
I hit the ground, I skin my knees 
        G 
I just keep going 
D  G    C 
I made a mess 
C 
I've been a mess, I guess 
                  G 
And guess what, life is messy 
                    D 
And if I learned anything 

D                     Am D 
At least I'm falling forward 
D                     Am 
At least I'm falling forward 
            D 
Because of you 

Em             G 
I'm fallin' forward 
Em                              G 
Finally I'm laying down these arms 
Em                                   G 
The ones I held so close to see me through 
C                   G             Am 
And I'm just like a sparrow in a barn 
C                   G             D 
I'm flyin' for that tiny patch of blue 

D        G    C 
I dive head-first into the dark 
C                                  G 
I don't look back, I just keep swimming 
    D   G    C 
I trip and fall 
C 
I hit the ground, I skin my knees 
              G 
I just keep going 
  D   G   C 
I made a mess 
C 
I've been a mess, I guess 
                          G 
And guess what, life is messy 
                     D 
But if I learned anything 
D 
From you 

Am                     D 
At least I'm falling forward 
Am          D 
At least I'm falling forward 
Am                     D 
At least I'm falling forward 
Am                     D 
At least I'm falling forward 
Am          D 
Because of you 
Am                   D 
Forward, forward, forward, forward 
Am          D 
Because of you 

Em                              G 
Finally I'm laying down these arms 
Em                                   G 
The ones I held so close to see me through 
C                   G             Am 
And I'm just like a sparrow in a barn 
C                   G             D 
I'm flyin' for that tiny patch of blue
