[Intro]
C C Am G C (x2)
[Verse 1]
C G Am
If I let go of this wheel
F G C
Will I break my way through the grey?
C G Am
Will I fly off something different
F G
Or in skyscraping shadows I stay?
C G Am
Will Jesus take this wheel
F C G
And somehow turn the tide
C G Am
Lord knows I've been trying
F G C
There's a darkness in me lights can't hide
C C Am G C
[Verse 2]
C G Am
The skyline sure looks pretty
F G C
on nights like these
C G Am
I'd say it was something if I could breathe
F G
and hold you close to me
C G Am
I'm shaking head to my toes
F C G
It's been a hard row to hoe
C G Am
Born under blue skies high ridges not rises
F G C
And time here moves so slow
[Chorus]
G Am
Skyline blues
F G
Leave me no choice but to choose
C G F C
To keep holding on to the end of this song
F G
Or get out of here while I can
C
And go be a better man
C C Am G C (x2)
[Verse 3]
C G Am
If I let go of this wheel
F G C
Will my tires find their way back?
C G Am
Next to my woman, spark of my eye
F G
She's everything I lack
C G Am
I'll let go as fast as I can
F C G
Fuck all, I'm gone with the wind
C G Am
Headed straight home I'm done with alone
F G C
Get my soul back on the mend
[Chorus]
G Am
Skyline blues
F G
Leave me no choice but to choose
C G F C
To keep holding on to the end of this song
F G
Or get out of here while I can
And go be a better man
C C Am G C
A better man
