[Intro]
C#m    A  B    C#m  2x

[Verse 1]
           C#m             A
With your head up in the clouds
      B             C#m
You try to win the race
                          A
You're the leader of the pack
B   C#m
 Always
     B
The candle keeps burning
               C#m
from both ends
             B                 C#m
Until it's blowing out with a bang

[Verse 2]
                             A
When you think you know the game
               B               C#m
You don't know anything at all
                              A
You cross the red line once again
B      C#m
 Free fall
 B
Hope you've learned your
                 C#m
lesson well my friend
                  B
'Cause there will always
              C#m
be a second chance
