NO CAPO
INTRO: 
Em   C   G   Am   Em   C   G D Am
VERSE 1:
 G                            Em
 Once upon a time there was a lonely boy
                         Am
 Who went and dreamt his life away
   C
 A part afraid
     G
 The summer sun was in the sky
    Em                                  Am
 He hid his heart and darkness tried to keep it safe
     C                   D
 And there he stayeeeedddd
PRECHORUS:
             Em
 It's hard I know
           C                   D
 Letting go without a guarantee
          Em            C
 But that lonely boy he said to me
CHORUS:
       Em                C                 G
 Don't let a chance like this one pass you by
     Am                 Em             C
 You can't be scared to jump without a parachute
   G            D    Am
 I swear you'll be alright
       Em           C
 There may be solid ground below
      G        D          Em    D
 But 'till you try you'll never know
     A                   C
 You might just make the best mistake of your life
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Em   C   G   Am   Em   C
VERSE 2:
     G
 The days went on, the time set in
    Em                                         Am
 He dreamt of things that might have been from far away
     C
 The movie played
    G
 He learned his caution had a price and
Em
 Good things don't come knocking twice
    Am              C                   D
 He knew one day he could not stayyyyyyyy
PRECHORUS:
             Em             C                   D
 I know it's tough giving up without a guarantee
         Em                  C
 But the things you fear can set you free
CHORUS:
       Em                C                 G
 Don't let a chance like this one pass you by
     Am                 Em             C
 You can't be scared to jump without a parachute
   G            D    Am
 I swear you'll be alright
       Em           C
 There may be solid ground below
      G        D          Em    D
 But 'till you try you'll never know
     A                   C                    A
 You might just make the best mistake of your life

 G                            Em
 Once upon a time there was a lonely boy

 Just asking you to take his hand (take his hand)
              C
 Asking you to take this chance (take this chance)
CHORUS:
       Em                C                 G

 You can't be scared to jump without a parachute
    G            D    Am
 (I swear you'll be alright) I swear you'll be alright
