C minorCm AbAb Bb majorBb

Verse 1:
C minorCm     Eb MajorEb            Bbadd9Bbadd9
The leaves rustle as I take my next step
C minorCm      AbAb         Bb majorBb
my soul gets lighter with every breath
C minorCm    Eb MajorEb         FF
this is a circle of forbidden land
C minorCm       Ebadd9Ebadd9
I shouldn't be here
    FF
and yet here I stand

Cmadd9Cmadd9 Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Past the spiderwebs and in the bright sunshine
Cmadd9Cmadd9  Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9       Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
there's a clearing that I hope I'm going to find
    F minorFm    Eb MajorEb        C minorCm        Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
with a spring to drink from and a place to catch my breath
    F minorFm   Eb MajorEb         C minorCm       Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
That's what I hope for, but is it waiting at the end?

Verse 2:

C minorCm        Eb MajorEb      Bbadd9Bbadd9
In the eye of the storm of suburbia
C minorCm      AbAb       Bb majorBb
I'm not being urged to hurry up
C minorCm  Eb MajorEb      FF
By myself I feel I belong
C minorCm    Ebadd9Ebadd9     FF
out here I don't have to feel so lost

Cmadd9Cmadd9 Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
As I sit down the waves in my hair are blown
Cmadd9Cmadd9 Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
by the wind telling me that I'm not alone
    F minorFm    Eb MajorEb       C minorCm     Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
and the thinnest trees start to lose stability
F minorFm    Eb MajorEb      C minorCm    Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
just like me, they have some fragility

Bridge:
F minorFm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb
F minorFm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
F minorFm Eb MajorEb C minorCm Bb majorBb F minorFm

Verse 3:
Cmadd9Cmadd9   Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Although I haven't found a clearing quite yet,
Cmadd9Cmadd9  Bbadd9Bbadd9     Abadd9Abadd9     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I try to own the path I took with no regret
      F minorFm      Eb MajorEb
and though I can't turn back now
   C minorCm      Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
I'll find another path
  F minorFm   Eb MajorEb         C minorCm     Bbsus4Bbsus4 Bb majorBb
to take me to the place where I belong at last.
