Verse 1:
Dm Dm            Dm/C     Dm/C     Dm/B   Dm/B  Dm/Bb  Dm/Bb
   Mortality is sewn into men like me
Dm    Dm           Dm/C          Dm/C    Dm/B  Dm/B   Dm/Bb  Dm/Bb
   A quick-fraying stitch on the edge of      reality
Dm   Dm            Dm/C           Dm/C          Dm/B Dm/B  Dm/Bb  Dm/Bb

Dm Dm        Dm/C        Dm/C      Dm/B   Dm/B       Dm/Bb   Dm/Bb
   Walking away from the past that      allows me to feel

Bridge 1:
Dm Dm          Dm/C         Dm/C
   But there's nothing more beautiful
Dm/B      Dm/B          Dm/Bb        Dm/Bb
Than the flowers whose blooming I've missed
Dm      Dm            Dm/C
Or the suns that have fallen
        Dm/C  Dm/B   Dm/B   Dm/Bb       Dm/Bb
Over horizons that I        haven't yet kissed

Chorus:
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C  Dm/B Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
But I                 can       fly
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C      Dm/B Dm/B     Dm/Bb
And I                will chase     the sky

Verse 2:
Dm         Dm        Dm/C     Dm/C               Dm/B          Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
   There's beauty in decay of fallen leaves onto sodden ground
Dm   Dm      Dm/C           Dm/C    Dm/B Dm/B      Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
   A perfect picture of the life in      me that I found
Dm             Dm      Dm/C     Dm/C      Dm/B  Dm/Bb  Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
   And there's nothing that the world can       do or say
Dm           Dm       Dm/C            Dm/C      Dm/B Dm/B  Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
   That will haunt me more than these walls will     if I stay

Chorus:
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C  Dm/B Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
And I                 can       fly
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C      Dm/B Dm/B     Dm/Bb
And I                will chase     the sky

Bridge 2:
     Bb          Bb     Bb        Bb
And look at this person I have become
Dm         Dm       Dm         Dm
Constantly reliving battles I could've won
Bb         Bb          Bb      Bb
It's in my sorrow that I justify
   Dm          Dm         Dm            Dm
Ascending this world as I watch it disalign

Bridge 3:
    A                                        Bb
And I am a story that cannot escape its own ending
A                                                Bb         C
I live my life knowing that the last page will upend me, upend me

Chorus:
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C  Dm/B Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
And I                 can       fly
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C      Dm/B Dm/B     Dm/Bb
And I                will chase     the sky
     Dm Dm Dm/C Dm/C  Dm/B Dm/B Dm/Bb Dm/Bb
And I                 can       fly
