View chords used in this chart
A9 G#m7
Looking up high
A9 G#m7
Found a steel tower
A9 G#m7
Wondering how I would feel
B5 C#5
If I fall down
A5 B5 C#5
Was it a dream?
A5 B5
I saw deep red
D9 E F#m7 A9
Chasing, for what's far ahead
D9 E A9 F#m7
Always yearning, don't know why but
D9 E F#m7 A9
The beauty I really want
B5 C#5 D9 E
May seem to be awkward to someone's eyes
A9
Looking down below
G#m7 A9
From top of the tower
G#m7 A9
Fear takes over my heart
G#m7 A9 B5 C#5
And my knees won't stop shaking
B5 A5 C#5
Then I realize
B5 A5
I'm falling down
D9 E F#m7 A9
Why do the things I have loved
D9 E
Always breaking
A9 F#m7
Don't know why
D9 E F#m7 A9
But the beauty I really want
B5 C#5
May seem to be
D9 E D5
Ugly to someone's eyes
( D5 C#5 C5 C#5 )
( D5 C#5 C5 D5 )
( E E9 E )
D9 E F#m7 A9
Chasing, for what's far ahead
D9 E A9 F#m7
Always yearning, don't know why but
D9 E F#m7 A9 B5
The beauty I really want, may seem
C#5 D9 E
To be a little crazy in sight
D9 E F#m7 A9 D9 E
And now I've been flying high to the sky
A9 F#m7 A9 E
Lifting me to the yonder
F#m7 A9 B5 C#5
Something brought me here so far from home
D9 E
But I'm not cold at all
