E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus
 Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

  E MajorE      A augmentedA        E MajorE     A augmentedA
At overlooking the canyon, right where I'm descending, I swear I,
    E MajorE      A augmentedA           G+G       A augmentedA
See my former glory, still burning, it had every intent of returning

E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

  E MajorE        A augmentedA        E MajorE          A augmentedA
And years of planning the landing, to prepare for jumping the canyon
     E MajorE       A augmentedA           G+G          A augmentedA
It's not death-defying, or cheering, it's the thrill of clearing, barely clearing


CHORUS:
E MajorE     A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE
And if I see no hope for me, I still see hope for you
    A augmentedA      BB   E MajorE     A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
In the high-rise of the morning, the exception that proves my rule


E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA  (x2)
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)  (x2)

     E MajorE    A augmentedA            E MajorE       A augmentedA
Still I'm tying up loose ends, I tied them to a chair to defy them
  E MajorE           A augmentedA          G+G        A augmentedA
To protect and hide them, untie them, these are not the ones you won't untie 'em

E MajorE   A augmentedA  AsusAsus  E MajorE   A augmentedA
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

  E MajorE         A augmentedA       E MajorE         A augmentedA
And now I'm jumping the canyon, after years of planning and planning
   E MajorE      A augmentedA               G+G        A augmentedA
It's a monumental challenge: a feeling you must fight before you start free-wheelin'


E MajorE     A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE
And if I see no hope for me, I still see hope for you
    A augmentedA      BB   E MajorE     A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
In the wide eyes of the morning, the exception that proves my rule


SOLO: E, A, Asus, E, A, Asus, E, A, AsusAsus


E MajorE     A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE
And if I see no hope for me, I still see hope for you
    A augmentedA      BB   E MajorE     A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
In the high-rise of the morning, the exception that proves my rule
E MajorE A augmentedA AsusAsus        E, A, AsusAsus          (x2)
     Proves my rule!      Proves my rule!  (x2)

END ON: E, (E minorEm), E MajorE
