Verse
F                          G    F          G
I love the feeling when we lift up
F                           G  F           G
Watching the world so small below
F                          G     F         G
I love the dreaming when I think of
F                               G    F     G
The safety in the clouds out my window
F                         G    F           G
I wonder what keeps us so high up
F                             G     F      G
Could there be a love beneath these wings
F                            G      F      G
If we suddenly fall should I scream out
F                                  Am
Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as I'm crying
Bm-D ("-" means quick change)
So frightened of dying
G-F
Relax yes I'm trying
    D           F       F
But fears got a hold on me
Am                                  Am
       Yes, this fears got a hold on me
Am               G                   F
       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)

F Am F x2

F                                   Am F
I love the quiet of the night time
F                                         Am F
When the sun is drown in the deathly sea
F                                            Am F
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
F                                       Am F
Then sense of time catching up with me
F                               Am F
The sky's set out like a pathway
F                                   Am F
But who decides which road we take
F                                    Am F
As people drift into a dream world
F                                     Am
I close my eyes as my hands shake and when I see a new day
Bm---D
Who's driving this anyway
G-F
I picture my own grave
      D           F       F
Cause fears got a hold on me
Am                                Emc
     Yes this fears got a hold on me
Am            G                   F
     Yes this fears got a hold on me
Am                                Am
     Yes this fears got a hold on me
Am                                F (let ring)
     Yes this fears got a hold on me

F                G            F                Am
Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground
         F                G
Will the earth beneath my body shake
    F                  Am
And cast your sleeping hearts awake
         F                  G
Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies
         F                Am
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
  F                        G
I live on the right side I sleep in the left
          F(?)
Thats why everythings got to be love or death
