Verse: 
G                     D/F# 
Shipwreck in a sea of faces 
Em                    D/F# 
There's a dreamy world up there 
G                     D/F# 
Dear friends in higher places 
C 
Carry me away from here 
G                                D/F# 
Travel light, let the sun eclipse you 
C 
'Cause your flight is about to leave 
D/F#                     G 
And there's more to this brave adventure 
C                 D 
Than you'd ever believe 


 
G         D/F#    Em                   C 
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you 
G    D/F#             Em           C 
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue 
G          D/F#          Em               C 
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery 
       D/F#            G                    C 
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high 
   D/F#           G                    C 
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind 
   D                                     G D/F# C 
And take to the sky (you take to the sky) Da Da... 


Continue to play the same chords of the chorus and verses through out the song. 


Verse 2: 
On the heels of war and wonder 
There's a stormy world up there 
You can't whisper above the thunder 
But you can fly anywhere 

Purple burst of paper birds 
This picture paints a thousand words 
So take a breath of myth and mystery 
And don't look back 



Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you 
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue 
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery 
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high 
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind 
And take to the sky (you take to the sky) 


Bridge: 
C               G 
There's a realm above the trees 
D/F# 
Where the lost are finally found 
C                   G 
Touch your feathers to the breeze 
D/F# 
And leave the ground 


 
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you 
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue 
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery 
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high 
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind 
And take to the sky (you take to the sky) (2x)
