A couple quick notes on chords:
1. The open A in parenthesis is optional, but I think it makes for a fuller sound, especially if playing
   acoustic.
2. The D chords at the end of the chorus are meant to go with the melody of the lyrics. If you want to play
   like the song though I think it technically goes Dsus4 - Dm - Dsus2 - Dm changing right on the beat.
[Verse]
WherAm7ever I go, wherever I go,
I have to Em/Gquestion the hand that I hold close.
WherFmaj7ever I go, wherever I go,
I have to Dsus2silence the words that you fear most.
Don't Am7ever let go, don't ever let go,
are we Em/Gdestined to hit the ground below?
Don't Fmaj7ever let go, don't ever let go,
We're at the Dsus2end of a burning tightrope.
[Chorus]
Now I'm Fwaiting on the corner in the back of your mind,
it's a Am7lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide.
Cause you Gtold me that you'd never be afraid of heights Dsus4again.(Dm)  Dsus2  
NoFbody ever thought that we could make it this high,
you're the Am7only one I'd follow till the end of time.
If we Gfall, we fall together baby, don't think twice aDsus4gain.(Dm)  Dsus2  
[Verse]
ToAm7gether I know, together I know
that we'd Em/Gburn like a rockets afterglow.
ToFmaj7gether I know, together I know,
we could Dsus2conquer the stars beyond this world.
We Am7let it all go, we let it all go,
I'm just a Em/Gvoice on a broken radio.
We Fmaj7let it all go, we let it all go,
we got Dsus2lost in the constellations.
[Chorus]
Now I'm Fwaiting on the corner in the back of your mind,
it's a Am7lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide.
Cause you Gtold me that you'd never be afraid of heights Dsus4again.(Dm)  Dsus2  
NoFbody ever thought that we could make it this high,
you're the Am7only one I'd follow till the end of time.
If we Gfall, we fall together baby, don't think twice aDsus4gain.(Dm)  Dsus2  
[Bridge]
  Am7    G    F      Dsus2X2
And after Am7all of these years, and Gall of this time.
Darling, if FI'm still a question Dsus2in your mind,
just Gsay the words and this will Am7end.
[Chorus]
You Ftold me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
you Am7told me that you'd nver be afraid of heights,
you Gtold me we should never be afraid of heights Dsus4again.(Dm)..Dsus2  
You Ftold me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
you Am7told me that you'd never be afraid of heights,
if we Gfall, we fall together baby don't think twice Dsus4again.(Dm)..Dsus2  
[Outro]
WherAm7ever I go, wherever I go, I hear your Em/Gvoice on a broken radio.
WherFmaj7ever I go, wherever I go, I know we'll Dsus2burn like a rockets afterglow.
Don't Am7ever let go, don't ever let go, so are we Em/Gdestined to hit the ground below?
Don't Fmaj7ever let go, don't ever let go, are we just Dsus2watching the final chapter close?
End on Am7
