         A augmentedA     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
When holding your breath is safer than breathing

Surely someone will reach out a hand
  D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA
And show you a safe place to land

Verse 3:
   A augmentedA     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Oh, imagine yourself in a building
   D MajorD       D/C#     B minorBm
Up in flames, being told to stand still
  D MajorD       E MajorE       F# minorF#m
The window's wide open, this is leap is on faith
     D MajorD                 E MajorE
You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will
