[Verse 1]
                         F
There's something in the air
        C           Gm
Burning ions in the oxygen
               Dm
are all aglow
               F
A feeling everywhere
     C              Gm
Premonitions of the storm
that comes
            A5
But I won't go

[Pre-Chorus]
         Bb
I'm done running towards
                  A5
The eyes of tornadoes
   Bb                Dm
Pretending this is hope

[Chorus]
                      Bb
I breathe in the atmosphere
                    F
Let it wash over my fear
                           C/E
Of these heights as I transcend
                   Dm
And become whole again
                      Bb
I breathe in the atmosphere
                      F
Let it take me out of here
                         C/E
I won't live life in the rain
                       A5
Waiting on the sky to change
Bb   A5   Bb   Dm

[Verse 2]
                           F
I've been frozen since that day
         C
I saw my clear blue skies
        Gm
As they turned to gray
                Dm
in front of me
                     F
It's hard to find my way
      C
Can I rise above
     Gm                 A5
When giving up is all I know?

[Pre-Chorus]
         Bb
I'm done running towards
                  A5
The eyes of tornadoes
