G D C D

verse
G D C D
i love the feeling when we lift up
G D C D
watching the world so small below
G D C D
i love the dreaming when i think of
G D C D
the safety in the clouds out my window
G D C D
i wonder what keeps us so high up
G D C D
could there be a love beneath these wings
G D C D
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
G Bm
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i’m crying
Bm – D ( ” – ” means quick change )
so frightened of dying
D – G
relax yes im trying
A C G
but fears got a hold on me
Bm Em
yes , this fears got a hold on me
Bm D G
yes , this fears got a hold on me

( change of rhythm here : 12 times G , and Em and C each 6 times – listen to the
song than you will understand )

G Em C x2

G Em C
i love the quite of the night time
G Em C
when the sun in the deathly sea
G Em C
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
G Em C
then sense of time catching up with me
G Em C
the sky set out like a pathway
G Em C
but who decides which route we take
G Em C
as people drift into a dream world
G Bm
i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day
Bm – – – D
who’s driving this anyway
D – G
i picture my own grave
A C G
cause fears got a hold on me
Bm emc
yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm D G
yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm Em
yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm G ( let ring )
yes this fears got a hold on me

C D G Em
floating neither up or down i wonder when i’ll hit the ground
C D
will the earth beneath my body shake
G Em
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
C D
could it tremble stars from moonlit skies
G Em
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
C D
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
C ( ? )
thats why everythings got to be love or death

outro – play intro over the following lyrics :

yes this fears got a hold on me . . . . .
