DLife's been so unsatisfying
Dmaj7Look, suddenly, now I'm flying
BmFreewheeling from cloud to cloud to Gcloud
DWings spread and the sky below me
Dmaj7There's no one to stop or slow me
BmPure freedom and everything's alGlowed
Down Emthere
I Edim7know there's tons of burdens I must Dsus2bear
D7/F#Somewhere
But from up EmhereG  
The Aworld looks so A/Gsmall
And F#msuddenly life seems so Bmclear
And from up EmhereG  
AYou coast past it all
