[Verse 1]
Am
I was living in a small mind
With no lifeline
C
And no messages can reach me from the outside
F
When I looked out over the horizon
E
Didn’t notice the sun was setting or just rising
Am
Then it hit me
Maybe bit me
C
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
F
I didn’t know exactly where I would be going
E
But I had to let this river in me flowing
F G
What a ride
Am
When you open your eyes
G
For the very first time
F G
A real surprise
[Chorus]
Am
I started living outside of the box
C
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
F
Living outside of the box
E
‘Cause I’m not gonna be anybody that I’m not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I’ve been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I’m alive
