Zach Sobiech - Clouds

when 17 – year – old zach sobiech learned that the rare form of bone cancer he’s
battling likely has left him with only a few months to live , he wrote and recorded
this song as a way of saying goodbye to his family and friends .
i love this song so inspiring

capo 2
the C6 is the same as Am7 if that helps

intro : C Em C6 F x2

C
well i fell down , down , down
Em
into this dark and lonely hole
C6 F
there was no one there to care about me anymore
C Em C6
and i needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
F
you were sitting there holding a rope .
C
and we’ll go up , up , up
Em
but i’ll fly a little higher
C6 F
we’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
C Em
up here my dear
Am F
it won’t be long now , it won’t be long now . ( same for the rest of the song . don’t play the bridge . )

when i get back on land

well i’ll never get my chance

be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands

maybe someday we’ll take a little ride

we’ll go up , up , up and everything will be just fine .

and we’ll go up , up , up

but i’ll fly a little higher

we’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

up here my dear .

it won’t be long now , it won’t be long now

if only i had a little bit more time

if only i had a little bit more time with you .

we could go up , up , up

and take that little ride

and sit there holding hands

and everything would be just right

and maybe someday i’ll see you again

we’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end .

and we’ll go up , up , up

but i’ll fly a little higher

we’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

up here my dear

it won’t be long now , it won’t be long now .
