Dm F

Flying high, can’t look down

C G Dm

Feel the air as you hit the ground

You dust off and collect yourself

C G Dm

Take one step before you fall back down

F C G

Didn’t mean to hurt no one

[Chorus]

Then maybe you'll see the light before its gone

[Verse]

Dm F

Driving now, can’t slow down

C G Dm

Wave goodbye as you leave this town

Climbing now, getting higher still

But what goes up, must come down

F C G

Didn’t mean to hurt no one

[Chorus]

F G Am

Because everyday is a new beginning

F G Am

And it always seems to be darkest before dawn

F G Am

So hold your head up higher than the clouds

F G Am

Then maybe you'll see the light before its gone

So if you feel that you’ve changed your ways

F C G

And if you feel that you’re not sure

F C G

The only thing you have to ask yourself

F C G

Are you better than before
