[Verse 1]
Am      Gmaj    F#maj     Fmaj
  Never perform a dead defying act

          Am    Gmaj    F#maj    Fmaj
And I won't fall

Am   Gmaj        F#maj         Fmaj
  I'm brave, I can save the very small

          Am  Gmaj        F#maj      Fmaj
I'm everything    but I'm nothing at all

Am       Gmaj    F#maj        Fmaj
  You compare my light to the sky

           Am      Gmaj    F#maj          Fmaj
Why do you try, to make me better than the divine

Am                      Gmaj      
  It isn't the same, don't  give it a name

F#maj
Let me remain

Fmaj
Let me remain
[Chorus]
Am    C             Fmaj   Dm
  I'm everything I've ever been

Am    C             Fmaj   Dm
  I'm everything I've ever seen

Dm    Am              C          C
  I'm everything that slowly falls

Dm    Am              C          C
  I'm everything and I'm nothing at all

Am Gmaj F#maj Fmaj (x2)
Ooooooo ooooooo ahhhh
[Verse 2]
Am               Gmaj          
  I will perform a death defying miracle

F#maj                    Fmaj
  For someone with the chemicals to believe

Am                     Gmaj
  I am brave, but I've gravely understated

            F#maj                 Fmaj
I can't save you from what you've taken and leave

Am                Gmaj                           F#maj
  You compare our love to the sun, what have you done?

                         Fmaj
Is there no limit to the prizes we've won?

Am                       Gmaj
  It isn't the same, don't   give it a name

F#maj
Let me remain

Fmaj
Let me remain
[Chorus]
Am     C              Fmaj    Dm
  I am everything I have ever been

Am     C              Fmaj  Dm
  I am everything I've ever seen

Dm    Am              C      C
  I'm everything that slowly falls

Dm    Am                 C     
  I'm everything and I'm nothing at all

C
I'm nothing at all

Am                 Gmaj           
 I will perform a death defying magic show

F#maj                       Fmaj
 For those of you that wanna go someplace else

Am                 Gmaj
 I am brave, but I can't save you

F#maj                      Fmaj
 From the things you won't change for yourself

Am              Gmaj
 You compare my light to the moon,

     F#maj        Fmaj
What are you doing,  what are you doing?

 It isn't the same,  don't give it a name

Let me remain

Fmaj
Let me remain

  I am everything I have ever seen

  I am everything that slowly falls

  I am everything and I'm nothing at all

C
  I'm nothing at all
