C#m B F#
C#m E
[Verse 1]
Times when I just G#mcan't
Bring myEself to say it loud
Afraid that G#mwhat I'll say comes out somehow Eawry
That is when it G#mseems
We move in Ecircles day to day
Twist the G#mdrama of the play to get us Eby
[Pre-Chorus]
And it G#mfeels like fear
Like I'll Edisappear
Gets so G#mhard to steer
Yet I go Eon
Do we G#mneed debate
When it Eseems too late
Like I G#mbleed but F#wait
Like nothing's EwrongF#  
(slide to F# for one strum in the very end of the prechorus)
[Chorus]
C#mYou lift my spirit, take me Bhigher, make me F#fly,
Touch the C#mmoon up in the sky, when you are EmineF#  
C#mYou lift me higher, take my Bspirit, make it F#fly,
C#mWhere only wonders will apEpear
    C#mTake me Bhigher
F#Make me C#mfly
Moon up Ein the F#sky
    C#mTake my Bspirit
F#Make it C#mfly
Wonders Eappear
[Verse 2]
Like the other G#mday
I thought you Ewon't be coming back
I came to G#mrealize my lackluster Edreams
And among the G#mschemes
And all the Etricks we try to play
Only G#mdreams will hold their sway and Edefy
[Pre-Chorus]
When it fG#meels like fear
Like I'll Edisappear
Gets so hG#mard to steer
Yet I go Eon
So do we G#mneed debate
When it seeEms too late
Like I bG#mleed but waF#it
Like nothing's wroEngF#  
(slide to F# for one strum in the very end of the prechorus)
[Chorus]
C#mYou lift my spirit, take me hiBgher, make me fF#ly,
Touch the C#mmoon up in the sky, when you are EmineF#  
C#mYou lift me higher, take my spBirit, make it fF#ly,
C#mWhere only wonders will appeEar
