[Verse]
Am Dm
Well, it's strange my head is rememberin’
G Am
How the airplane flying overhead
Am Dm
Looks so effortless, but I cannot guess
G Am
Why it lingers in my mind
Am Dm
Even after this, I'm a crying mess
G Am
And to be stronger now, my only wish
Am Dm
So I can finally have the bravery
G Am
So I can reach on up to the sky
(Pre Chorus)
Dm Am
This cruel fate engraving
F G
It's carved into the stone
Dm Am
Hoping it reveals itself all to me and then I will
Dm Em F G
Know just where to go
Dm Am
This moment, this moment
F G
I know that I can breathe
Dm Am
Hanging on a feeling...believe in
Dm Em F G
My only meaning!
[Chorus]
F G
I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it
Am C
Asking if I have been going the distance
F E Am C
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!
F G
My eyes are swollen from the tears that I’ve been crying
Am C
But to the rest of the world, ever smiling
F E Am C
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
F G E Am
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G# A# C
Write a story of a hero!

[Verse]
Am Dm
I didn't want to say I protected you
G Am
And you were never weak, I'm number two
Am Dm
You were stronger than I have ever been
G Am
And you mean more to me than you know
Am Dm
I have changed myself since the day I yelled
C Am
About how you go on by yourself
Am Dm
So if you have to laugh, I should tell you that
C Am
I'm afraid that I'm all alone
Dm Am
I'm kicking, I'm biting
F G
Impossible to breathe
Dm Am
Going down below the depths of my troubled head
Dm Em F G
And I can feel my stomach heave
Dm Am
I see it, I need it
F G
It calms the blood that beats
Dm Am
If only I could touch it, enough that
Dm Em F G
It’s mine for keeping
F G
I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it
Am C
Asking if I have been going the distance
F E Am C
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!
F G
My eyes are swollen from the tears that I’ve been crying
Am C
But to the rest of the world, ever smiling
F E Am C
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
F G E Am
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G# A# C
Write a story of a hero!
F G Am C
Those days gettin’ rowdy, gettin' bloody, I was
F G Am C
All scraped, gettin' worn and gettin' dirty, now I
F G Am C
Hear you talkin’ and it all is coming back
F G Am C
I see it in my mind - my memories revived
F G Am C
I could apologize for sleeping in a chrysalis and
F G Am C
With every passing night, I wish that I was leaving it and
F G Am C
I swear that I'll be back again!
F G Am
Oh, woah, ohh
E Am
Oh, woah, ohh
F G Am C
Oh, woah, ohh ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

Oh, woah, ohh

I hear a voice a-calling, telling me to risk it

Asking if I have been going the distance
F E Am C
Singing with a passion that I cannot deny!
F G
My eyes are swollen from the tears that I've been crying
Am C
But to the rest of the world, ever smiling
F E Am C
Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show!
F G E Am
With my peace sign up when I say goodbye
G# A# C
Write a story of a hero!
