E      A    Asus    E     A    Asus    E     A    Asus   E      A   Asus
  Ah...(oh), ah-ah,  Ah...(oh), ah-ah,  Ah...(oh), ah-ah,  Ah...(oh)

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

E      A    Asus    E     A
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

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


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


E      A    Asus    E     A    (x2)
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)    (x2)

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


E      A    Asus    E     A
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

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


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


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


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

END ON: E, (Em), E
