Capo: 2

Intro: 
------ 
Dsus2      Dsus2/F#     Dsus2/G  
Dsus2/B    Dsus2/F#     Dsus2/G 


Verse: 
------ 
Dsus2       Dsus2/F#       Dsus2/G 
When I was a kid I'd take chances 
        Dsus2/B        Dsus2/F#     Dsus2/G 
And if I didn't all my cousins would mock 
  Dsus2          Dsus2/F# 
A broken piece of plywood 
 Dsus2/G 
Overlooked up my childhood 
 Dsus2/B       Dsus2/F#    Dsus2/G 
Propped up on an old cinder block 

     Dsus2           Dsus2/F#      Dsus2/G 
As a child it looked to me like 20 stories 
Dsus2/B                 Dsus2/F#  Dsus2/G 
Drop straight down to an untimely death 
       Dsus2          Dsus2/F# 
So I'd start up on the hill 
     Dsus2/G 
Get a pace that could kill 
    Dsus2/B Dsus2/F#            Dsus2/G 
That even my bike would hold its breath 


 Asus                       G 
Somehow I've lost all my ambition  
          Bm           Asus2      G 
â??cause I know I'd never try that today 
Dsus2          Dsus2/C#         Dsus2/B         G 
Looking way back now between the jump and the ground  
                     Asus              Dsus2 
Is the only time that I could ever say 



[Refrão]
Chorus: 
------- 
          G 
You can stand there on the ground  
              D 
And let your fear keep you down  
          Dsus2/B          Dsus2/F#    Dsus2/G 
Or you can pick up all your courage and fly 
                          Asus 
When it comes down to the end  
      Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B 
Are you living my friend  
          G         Asus           D 
Or just trying your best not to die 


Interlude: 
---------- 
Dsus2     Dsus2/F#     Dsus2/G  
Dsus2/B    Dsus2/F#     Dsus2/G 


Verse: 
------ 
Dsus2        Dsus2/F#       Dsus2/G 
Now I got two boys that are fearless 
        Dsus2/B     Dsus2/F#       Dsus2/G 
And they scare me to death half the time 
        Dsus2            Dsus2/F# 
Between jumping off their beds 
    Dsus2/G 
And busting up their heads 
Dsus2/B       Dsus2/F#       Dsus2/G 
Light sockets stuffed full of dimes 

     Asus                        G 
The youngest one climbed up the ladder 
           Bm             Asus        G 
While the oldest one was screaming my name 
         Dsus2         Dsus2/C#         Dsus2/B           G 
I turned around just in time to see him dropping with a smile 
                   Asus                 Dsus2 
Looked up at me, I swear I heard him say 



[Refrão]
Chorus: 
------- 
          G 
You can stand there on the ground  
              D 
And let your fear keep you down  
          Dsus2/B          Dsus2/F#    Dsus2/G 
Or you can pick up all your courage and fly 
                          Asus 
When it comes down to the end  
      Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B 
Are you living my friend  
          G         Asus           Dm 
Or just trying your best not to die 


Bridge: 
------- 
      Em7                                D 
Every day that you're given brings you closer  
G                Asus 
  To being taken away 



[Refrão]
Chorus: 
------- 
          G 
You can stand there on the ground  
              D 
And let your fear keep you down  
          Dsus2/B          Dsus2/F#    Dsus2/G 
Or you can pick up all your courage and fly 
                          Asus 
When it comes down to the end  
      Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Dsus2/B 
Are you living my friend  
          G         Asus           D 
Or just trying your best not to die
