Verse - Bella:
G+G          C majorC           D MajorD           G+G
When I was five out on the lake, my family told me to jump but my knees would shake
G+G                C majorC         D MajorD            G+G
Was a twenty foot drop from the balcony, my father told me to jump or we'd have to leave
G+G       A minorAm          D MajorD        G+G
I lept off and before I knew, I was in the air for a minute or two
G+G         C majorC              D MajorD           G+G
And after all was said and done was one of the craziest things I had ever done.

Chorus - Bella:
G+G        C majorC          D MajorD         G+G
Though I left my family, and they're miles and miles be-hind me
G+G         C majorC     D MajorD            G+G
When I get sad or unhappy I know they'll be right be-side me
G+G           A minorAm        D MajorD        G+G
Cause after all we've been through, the miles don't mean much, it's true
G+G             C majorC           D MajorD         G+G
They'd travel the land and across the sea if they knew it means that much to me

Bridge - James:
G+G        C majorC                   D MajorD        G+G G MajorG
I did some crazy stuff too with my family when I was li-ving back home

Bridge - Bella:
C majorC   D MajorD     G+G
Yeah, Like what?

Verse - James:
G+G          C majorC          D MajorD         G+G
I was 10 and thought it would be cool to try front flippin' into the pool
G+G            C majorC        D MajorD          G+G
Took off runnin' like a horse in a race, jumped too high and fell on my face
G+G            A minorAm         D MajorD           G+G
My ma saw bubbles and I didn't come up, she tried cpr and on 'er I threw up
G+G              C majorC             D MajorD          G+G
She was just glad not to 'av lost her son was one of the craziest things I'd ever done

Chorus - James:
G+G        C majorC          D MajorD         G+G
Though I left my family, and they're miles and miles be-hind me
G+G         C majorC     D MajorD            G+G
When I get sad or unhappy I know they'll be right be-side me
G+G           A minorAm        D MajorD        G+G
Cause after all we've been through, the miles don't mean much, it's true
G+G             C majorC           D MajorD         G+G
They'd travel the land and across the sea if they knew it means that much to me

Verse - Both:
G+G                  C majorC     D MajorD            G+G
We were sittin' on our boat drinkin' iced tea, weather was getting real windy
G+G            C majorC          D MajorD        G+G
Our ropes came out, our anchors unstuck. To keep onshore, we stepped into the muck.
G+G            A minorAm                 D MajorD        G+G
The more we pushed, the more the wind blew, dad said If we don't make it, I know I'll miss you
G+G             C majorC             D MajorD             G+G
Somehow we freed her, she weighed a ton but still a crazier thing that I have done

Outro:
    G+G     C majorC    D MajorD         G+G
It was, Leaving my family, miles and miles be-hind me
G+G           C majorC    D MajorD            G+G
I became real sad and unhappy knowing they weren't be-side me
G+G       A minorAm        D MajorD             G+G
After all we'd been through, the miles were to much to for me and you
G+G            C majorC            D MajorD         G+G
I'll travel the land and across the sea cause my family means that much to me

Outro:
G+G      C majorC      D MajorD      G+G (Quick Ending G+G)
Oh yes they mean - that much - to - me
