F Bb
I never stood up very tall
F Bb
I think my voice was fairly small
Dm Em F
But there were times I'd wanna to shout
G Gm
Though my thoughts weren't sorted out
C
So I'd stumble and I'd fall
F Bb
I learned to fly because of you
F Bb
So if you left, I could go too
Dm A F
And everything you saw in me
G Gm
That's what I wanted to be
C
Did I make it after all?
[Refrão]
Dm F Bb
All the grass on the other side
Dm F Bb
Is it only greener in my mind?
Dm F
I'd still want it same
Bb G Bb C
Because trading my yesterdayyyyyyy
F
is to wish my life away

As we dream and as we grow

We have to learn to let things go
Dm Em F
But let the wonder never fade

Though we've turned 10,000 pages

Flying high or stuck below
F Bb
I've searched for meaning amidst doubt
F Bb
I've finally figured that part out
Dm A F
And all the stories inside me
G Gm
Feels like I'm bursting at the seams
C
And you're here after all
[Refrão]

I'd still want it same
