[Intro]
G Bm C G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump
[Verse 1]
G
I think that my fear of heights
G
Is really just a fear of sight
C
'Cause when I close my eyes
Cm
Everything feels fine
G
Sometimes I feel like the kite and
G
Sometimes I feel like the hands
C
That hold the strings too tight
Cm
Hold on for dear life
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Leave it up to death
G D
'Cause who knows what comes next
Em C D
And how could I ever rest my mind
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump
A7
Once in a while
D7
High as a mile
G Bm C Am
They say we're just born to push our luck
C
Well I try
And I find
Cm G
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life
[Verse 2]
G
You think that your fear of ghosts
G
Is really just a fear of getting
C
Close to afterlife
Cm
Or the lack thereof
G
You sit in your haunted house
G
And keeping all these feelings
C
So far out of sight
Cm
Try to pack them up
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Leave it up to death
G D
'Cause who knows what comes next
Em C D
And how could I ever rest my mind
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Nothing's gonna happen if you don't jump
A7
Once in a while

High as a mile
G Bm C Am
They say we're just born to push our luck
C
Well I try
And I find
Cm Em
It leaves me here to hold on for dear life

And sometimes I feel like the hands
That hold the strings too tight
Hold on for dear life
Leave it up to death
Cause who knows what comes next and
How could I ever rest my mind
Nothings gonna happen if you don't jump
Once in a while high as mile
They say were just born to push our luck
I try, I find it leaves me here
To hold on for dear life
You think that your fear of ghosts
Is really just a fear of getting close
To afterlife or the lack there of
You sit in your haunted house and
Keep in all these feeling so far out
Of sight try to pack them up
Leave it up to death
Cause who knows what comes next
How could I ever rest my mind
Nothings gonna happen if you don't jump
Once in a while high as mile
They say were just born to push our luck
I try, I find it leaves me here
To hold on for dear life
Nothings gonna happen if you don't jump
Once in a while high as mile
They say were just born to push our luck
I try, I find it leaves me here
To hold on for dear life
