	        If the wind turns, if I hit a squall 

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me 

Verse 1:

C G F C I feel lighter than I have in so much time G I've crossed the borderline of weightless F C One deep breath out from the sky G F C I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm G F C All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world
Em E7 And though I burn, how could I fall? Am G F When I am lifted by every word you say to me Dm C G If anything could fall at all, it's the world C That falls away from me

Verse 2:

C G F C You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea G While you're as heavy as the world F C That you hold your hands beneath G F C Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground G F C I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down
Em E7 Leave it now, I am sky-bound Am G F If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me Dm G We'll float away, but if we fall C I only pray, don't fall away from me

Bridge:

Dm G I do not have wings, love, I never will Am C F Soarin' over a world you are carryin' Dm G If these heights should bring my fall Am Let me be your own C F Icarian carrion Final Em E7 If the wind turns, if I hit a squall Am G F Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me Dm G If I should fall, on that day C I only pray, don't fall away from me
