Verses
E C#m
It's late and I'm awake
G#m
Staring at the wall
B
Open up my window
D#m E
My head floats out the door
C#m
No one else around
G#m
And a shimmer takes my eye
B
I lift my head
D#m E
I'm blinded by the sky
C#m
Feel my weight in front
G#m
Following the sound
B
It moves away so fast
D#m E
I fall down to the ground
C#m
I know there's more to come
G#m
Jump back to my feet
B
And I only see ahead of me
D#m E
Chasing down the street (down the street)
