Chords

[Intro] N.C. If the wind turns, if I hit a squall N.C. Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me C [Verse 1]
C       G              F               C
 I feel lighter than I have in so much time

                 G
I've crossed the borderline of weightless

         F                   C
One deep breath out from the sky

               G                F              C
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm

        G                               F            C
All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world
[Chorus]
             Em              E7
And though I burn, how could I fall?

          Am        G              F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me

      Dm                  C             G
If anything could fall at all, it's the world

N.C.        C
That falls away from me
[Verse 2]
C            G               F              C
 You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea

                G
While you're as heavy as the world

         F                 C
That you hold your hands beneath

           G                 F              C
Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground

      G                                F               C
I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
[Chorus]
         Em            E7
Leave it now, I am sky-bound

       Am       G                  F
If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me

             Dm             G
We'll float away, but if we fall

                         C
I only pray, don't fall away from me
[Bridge]
     Dm                      G
I do not have wings, love, I never will

        Am     C         F
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'

         Dm                      G
If these heights should bring my fall

               Am
Let me be your own

 C      F
Icarian carrion
[Chorus]
       Em               E7
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall

          Am        G               F
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

            Dm            Gsus4
If I should fall, on that day

       G                 C
I only pray, don't fall away from me
