F          C         G(3200-0h1p0-3)    
How long it took me to leave.
AmI'll never Gtell you what I Csaw

F          C         G(3200-0h1p0-3)
The bricks that have built me
                      Am                    E    C-   Fmaj7- C  
But this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze

I would tell you I'm not leaving
                    F  G*
If I could show you one thing
       Cadd9  G*         Am  
All my mistakes have shaped me
FInto who I am

F          C         G(3200-0h1p0-3)
Into the night and back again
AmI hardly spGeak of my hometoCwn
F          C         G(3200-0h1p0-3)
My little hands in the cement
AmI'll never Gtell you what I Csaw, 
F          C         G(3200-0h1p0-3)
close the door, swallow the key 
                      Am                    E    C-   Fmaj7- C  
But this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze
                      Am                    E    C-   Fmaj7- C  
Ya this world keeps on turning, love is carried in a sling
