LYRICS w/ chords for chorus

Intro 3x

Intro (3rd time)
Oh oh yeah, oh oh oh yeah, oh oh oh yeah

Verse 2x
I watched the world from the side of the moon
Looking at the stars, looking back to you
Just to see if you were still alive
Looking at the sun with the fire in your eyes
It's hard to know where I stand
Even the man on the moon couldn't tell me where to land
But I wanted to fly in the sea
With no gravity to pull me down


Chorus
F#m                 A      Esus2
Hold on it won't take long
                      B7
You can find yourself if you decide to finally start
F#m                 A        Esus2
Don't run to me when you fall
                           B7
Cause the steps get bigger so go ahead and walk them off
F#m          A  C#sus4 DM7
And you know how I feel
  F#m             A    C#sus4   Esus2 (Emaj)
So don't let your life start to slowly waste away

Intro x1
Huh ohh No no

Verse x2
So tell me this one thing now listen to me close
You steal from me but you call it your own
You liar you thief go make your stand
on your own two feet
So oh now oh now listen what your friends say
Go now go now, go and do it that way
I'm the one you want to believe
But in your heart you can't see

Chorus
F#m                 A      Esus2
Hold on it won't take long
                      B7
You can find yourself if you decide to finally start
F#m                 A        Esus2
Don't run to me when you fall
                           B7
Cause the steps get bigger so go ahead and walk them off
F#m          A  C#sus4 DM7
And you know how I feel
  F#m             A    C#sus4   Esus2 (Emaj)
So don't let your life start to slowly waste away

F#m                 A      Esus2
Hold on it won't take long

You can find yourself if you decide to finally start
F#m                 A        Esus2
Don't run to me when you fall
                           B7
Cause the steps get bigger so go ahead and walk them off
F#m          A  C#sus4 DM7
And you know how I feel
  F#m             A    C#sus4  Esus2 (Emaj)
So don't let your life start to slowly waste away
