Tom: E
E A
Maybe you're crazy for trying
E A
How could you dare attempt flying?
A E
There's no one who can stop you now
G D F#m7 B
The question isn't if but rather how
E A
Isn't there pride in ambition?
E A
Having a goal and a mission?
A E
Who knows what you've yet to be
G D F#m7 B
If they can do it, you think "Why not me?"
A
We try to fly
E
It turns to a crawl
C#m B
Once we find out we're not special at all
A
Feathers and wax
E
The wings come undone
C#m B
"Get back to work, kid, there's no time for fun"
E
You're too close to the sun
E A
Put all your eggs in one basket
E A
Dig your own grave, build your casket
A E
You settle into some routine
G D F#m7 B
And take a match to every dream you have
E A
All of the effort you're giving
E A
You are alive but not living
A E
You had a chance to make your play
G D F#m7 B
But now you're caught up in the day by day
A
So, you fly low
E
It's safe by the shore
C#m B
But something inside is still hungry for more
A
The wings become stiff
E
You need to be free
C#m B
You say, "This life is too simple for me"
E
You're too close to the sea
