[Intro]
C
If  the wind turns, if I hit a squall
                                             C/G
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
 
 
[Verse 1]
C/G       Gadd11             F               C/G
   I feel lighter than I have in so much time
                    Gadd11
I've crossed the border line of weightless
         F
One deep breath out from the sky
C/G                 Gadd11             F             C/G
   I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
              Gadd11                           F               C/G
All our weight      is just a burden offered to us by the world
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Gadd11                E7
And though I      burn how could I  fall?
             Am7     Gadd11           F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me
 
 
[Chorus]
      Dm                      Gadd11
If anything could fall at all,      it's the world
               C/G
That falls away   from me
 
 
[Verse 2]
C/G                Gadd11      F                 C/G
   You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
                   Gadd11
While you're as heavy as the world
             F             C/G
That you hold your hands beneath
              Gadd11            F                 C/G
Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
         Gadd11                                F                C/G
I can see      that all along, love, it was you all the way down
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Em              F
Leave it  now, I am sky-bound
           Am7       Gadd11                F
If you need   to, darling, lean your weight to me
We'll float away,
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm              Gadd11
  but if we fall
I only pray, don't fall away from me
 
 
[Interlude]
C/G     Dm                      Gadd11
   I do not have wings, love, I never will
         Am7        C       F
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
         Dm                      Gadd11
If these heights should bring my fall  
                  Am7
Let me be your own
 C      F
Icarian carrion
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em                 Dm
If the wind  turns, if I hit a  squall
C                Am7       Gadd11              F
 Allow the ground   to find      its brutal way to me
 
 
[Chorus]
           Dm                 Gadd11
If I should  fall, on that day
                            C/G
I only pray, don't fall away   from me

                  If the wind turns
If I hit a squall
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

I feel lighter than I have in so much time
I've crossed the borderline of weightless
One deep breath out from the sky
I've reached a rarer height now
That I can confirm
All our weight is just a burden
Offered to us by the world
And though I burn
How could I fall?
When I am lifted by every word you say to me

If anything could fall at all
It's the world that falls away from me

You have me floating like a feather on the sea
While you're as heavy as the world
That you hold your hands beneath
Once I had wondered
What was holding up the ground
I can see that all along, love
It was you all the way down
Leave it now
I am sky-bound
If you need to, darling
Lean your weight to me

We'll float away
But if we fall, I only pray
Don't fall away from me

I do not have wings, love
I never will
Soaring over a world you are carrying
If these heights should bring my fall
Let me be your own
Icarian carrion

If the wind turns
If I hit a squall
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
If I should fall on that day
I only pray
Don't fall away from me
