6/8 133 bpm [Verse 1]
  E                C#m7   Amaj7  Abm/B  B7
I long to see, the other side of things

     E                C#m7       Amaj7     Abm/B  B7
Hung on the cliff, in search of something big

  E                 C#m7  Amaj7   Abm/B  B7
I can't look down, I can only retreat

    E                   C#m7    Amaj7   Abm/B  B7
Who knows one day, I'll dive into the sea
[Chorus 1]
A    B/A  A   B/A  E/D           D
Here we   all are  sitting like fools

 E/D          C#m7     G#m7    G#m7
Stuck by the rules of fate

A      B/A   A      B/A      E/D       D
Is what  we are what we've grown to believe

E/D         C#m7     G#m7    B
Better the devil you know
[Verse 2]
     E                    C#m7      Amaj7   Abm/B  B7
Live for the day, we throw caution to the wind

       E             C#m7    Amaj7   Abm/B  B7
All we need is, the courage to begin

    E                  C#m7      Amaj7    Abm/B  B7
I might get hurt, but never be scared again

   E                   C#m7    Amaj7    Abm/B  B7
At once to feel, the pleasure and the pain

[Bridge]
Am          G       Am               G
   Into the city,      into the city every day

Am          G       F                  Bb
   Into the city,   piling through the factory gate

Am          G       Am               G
   It's not easy,      it's not easy to escape

Am           G       F               Bb         Em      Em
   All the decisions,  that you've already made

Who knows one day, I'll dive into the sea
