[Verse]
D
It's been so long
Since I last saw you
G
I've just been here all by myself
Pulling old books from the top shelf
D
Leaves are falling
But I don't plan on coming down
G
How does it look from way up there
Can I survive the mountain air
[Instrumental]

D
Hold your questions
You'll find your answer off the page
G
I heard you calling from afar
Set off to find out where you are
D
I can' help it
I can't help but speak my mind
G
I swore someday I'd leave this place
It's time to take that leap of faith
[Chorus]
G A Bm
They see me running through their dreams at night
A G
Trying to keep myself above the tide
A Bm
And if I fail at least I know I tried
A G
Tried my best to keep an open mind
A
Tried my best to keep an open mind
[Instrumental]
D G D G
[Verse]
D
They call me headstrong
But I have had my ups and downs
G
I've seen reflections from the past
Beneath the shadows that you've cast
D
Look around you
Can you feel the open air
G
The view is better from right here
You're right, there was nothing to fear
[Chorus]

They see me running through their dreams at night

Trying to keep myself above the tide

And if I fail at least I know I tried

They see me running through their dreams at night
A G
Trying to keep myself above the tide
A Bm
And if I fail at least I know I tried
