[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G              D
Look up at the light
      Am7
This could be a dream or
   C
it could be real
G             D
Dive in to my mind
               Am7
And don't come up for air,
          C
you won't need it here
      G
Can I move you?
Can I serve your fear?
          D
Could you trust love,
if I prove it's there?
    Am7
Oh, I need to know it too
    C
And now I don't feel you

[Chorus]
     G
So I lift myself and
I close my eyes
      D
And I sing sometimes
to know I'm alive
  Am7
I know I should figure
this out on my own
    C
But if you come back could
you take me home?
  G
I get back up when the
wind is strong
      D
But I wish I knew how
it felt to run
Am7
I know I'm not alone
    C
And if you come back could
you take me home?

[Instrumental]
G D Am7 C

[Verse 2]
G         D
Being so alive can hurt
Am7
so very much
            C
When you're losing touch
         G
But if I touch you,
would you feel it there?
        D
Could I trust love,
even if I'm scared?
      Am7
Oh, I wish I could give,
like I'm longing to give
      C
Oh, I wish I could live,
like I'm longing to live

[Chorus]
     G
So I lift myself and
I close my eyes
      D
And I sing sometimes
to know I'm alive
  Am7
I know I should figure
this out on my own
    C
But if you come back could
you take me home?
  G
I get back up when
the wind is strong
      D
But I wish I knew how
it felt to run
Am7
I know I'm not alone
    C
And if you come back could
you take me home?
