I've been shaken, waking in the night light

    Am 
The more i stray, the less i fear 
        F                             C     G 
And the more i reach, the more i fade away 
    Am 
The darkness right in front of me 
         F                             C     G 
Oh, it's calling out, and i won't walk away 

                           C 
I would always open up the door 
                            G 
Always looking up at higher floors 
                         Am               F 
Wanna see it all give me more (rise, rise up)

I was always up for making changes 
                                G 
Walking down the street meeting strangers 
                                 Am                F 
Flipping through my life turning pages (rise, rise up)

Like a hunter waiting for the season

I was there, but i was always leaving

C           G         Am        F 
I'm bursting like the fourth of july 
      C         G           Am     F 
So color me and blow me away 
C        G          Am        F 
I'm broken in the prime of my life 
       C          G           Am      F 
So embrace it and leave me to stray
