 Verse:
    G
 I see your light
Am                          Em
 I know it's coming and I'm terrified

Am            Em    C
 Oh, I come alive

 We'll build a tower we can call our own

 So high that we'll forget the world below
Am                Em C
 Oh, just you and I, I

 The cannons blow

 We're letting go tonight
