[Refrão]
A Am G
Took a while, but I made it through

If I could show you the hell I'd been to

Kept climbing?til one day I looked back
Am G
Was so high, I couldn't think to land

And then one moment I was blown away
Am F Am G
And there was nothing left that I could say or do
 
[Refrão]
Am G

Couldn't hide it and I wasn't trying
 
[Verso 2]

After all that time, they couldn't tell

I lost my soul, was just a shell

[Verso 3]
Am F
Was I becoming what I had to be?
Am F Am
Was that the truth I was supposed to see?
Am G
I may have never found my way to you
Am F Am
And all those summer days were like a dream
G Am
Woke me from a restless sleep

Made me quiet, had me weak
Am G
And all the weight of all the world came rushing through
