Intro: G Em7 Cadd9 D
Verse 1
G Em7
If your travels ever take you to sea
Cadd9 D
Then I'd say to you to dip in your feet
G Em7
If you battle the wind on the way
Cadd9 D
Then I tell you to challenge the waves
Pre-Chorus 1
Em7 Am
It's a world of peculiar people
C D Em
And places that look nothing like home
Em7 D
But it keeps turning - and turning even
[Refrão] G
Though gravity happens...
Cadd9 D
We don't know it till after we've hit the ground
G
The world's spinning faster
Cadd9 D
with each day that passes, each dashing hour
Em7 Am C
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
D G
Well if gravity happens, then i'll fasten wings to my shoes
Em7 Cadd9 D
G Em7 D
Verse 2
G Em7
I have gathered that the moments that shaped me
Cadd9 D
Were the ones that have tested my faith
G Em7
All that matters is the courage they gave me
Cadd9 D
I fell down, my fears were erased
Pre-Chorus 2
Em7 Am
In the wreckage of heartache and hindsight
C D Em
A new beginning starts to unfold
Em7 D
If you let it, it just might save your life
Chorus
Bridge

I'm not gonna let the world get me down, no

I've got so much more to live for

I'm starting right now
