View chords used in this chart
Verse:
C/G
Can't put out the fire with my bare hands
Am
Not even I need to understand how
G Fmaj7
I'm getting there
C/G
Said a prayer with broken wings
Am
Hoping to move toward greater things now
G Fmaj7
And face the fear
[Refrão]
C/G
That I'm driftin'
G
Closer toward the skyline
Fmaj7
Lookin' down on my life
Am G
Tryin' to get just one thing right
C/G G
The second I start second guessing
Fmaj7
Let go like a confession
Am G Fmaj7
Seeing what I was born to find
G C/G
Flying for the first time
Verse:
I was the kind who played it safe
Wouldn't take a risk or leap of faith not
Before the leap?
Fear has a way of playing games
Go a little, go your separate ways
But as for me
Refrain:
I'm driftin'
Closer toward the skyline
Lookin' down on my life
Tryin' to get just one thing right
The second I start second guessing
Let go like a confession
Seeing what I was born to find
Flying for the first time
Bridge:
Dm Am
Led to the open flame
G Dm
Barely escaped
Am G
Now I'll never be the same
Refrain:
I'm driftin'
Closer toward the skyline
Lookin' down on my life
Tryin' to get just one thing right
The second I start second guessing
Let go like a confession
Seeing what I was born
I'm driftin'
Closer toward the skyline
Lookin' down on my life
Tryin' to get just one thing right
The second I start second guessing
Let go like a confession
Seeing what I was born to find
Flying for the first time
Flying for the first time
I put out the fire with my bare hands
