Tom: Am
Am
you were born
D
toes over the edge
G E
sixteen miles high
Am
when you were born
D
they failed to inform
G E
yeah that boys aren't built for flying
Am
you inched closer to the ledge
D G E
arms out wide as if to receive the sky
Am D
and in a thousand frozen faces yours was
G E
the only one there to crack a smile
[Pre-chorus]
E
and i heard you
E
and i heard you whisper
[Chorus]
Am C
"i can break my own fall,
E
break my own fall,
F E
i can break
Am C
i can break my own fall
E
break my own fall
F E Am
and if i break it's my own fault"
[Verse 2]
Am
well i was born
D
holding my breath
G E
i was born on the edge of my seat
Am
i was born
D
loving you
G E
while you dance through your days on a balance beam
Am D
i saw you take that faithfull step
G E
like something from a dream
Am
and in a thousand empty eyes
D G E
mine were the only ones there to watch you leave
[Pre-chorus]
E
and i heard you
E
and i heard you whisper
[Chorus]
Am C
"i can break my own fall,
E
break my own fall,
F E
i can break
Am C
i can break my own fall
E
break my own fall
F E Am
and if i break it's my own fault"
[Bridge]
Am
well maybe you're the one
C
that ended up on the news
G
but i, i got broken
E
i got broken too
Am
yeah maybe you're the one
C
that ended up on the news
G
but i, i got broken
E
i got broken too
Am
and i need you to know
C
to know i don't need you
G
yeah you heard me this time
E
but darling here's the truth
[Chorus]
Am C
i, i can break my own heart,
E
i can break my own heart,
F E
i can break
Am C
i can break my own heart
E
i can break my own heart
F E Am
and if i break it's my own fault
[Chorus]
Am C
and i can break my own fall,
E
break my own fall,
F E
and if i break it's my own
E Am
well it's my own fault
