[Fm] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
This is the call to the colorblind
This is the night of you
I'm stranded behind the horizon line
[A] Tired of [E] being something true
Yes, I'm grounded
[F#] [C#m] Got my wings clipped
[Em] I'm surrounded by [E] all this pavement
Yes, I circle while I'm waiting
[Am] For my shoes to dry
Someday [C#m] I'll fall
[E] Someday I'll fall
[A]
Someday [C#m] I'll be
So [E] damn much more
[A]
Cause [C#m] I'm forgiven by [E] the God
That gives me [A] credit for
[E]
Why is it not my time?
[B] What is the more [E] to learn?
I shed [Bm] that skin [E] I've been trippin' in
[A] Never [E] to quite return
Yes, I'm grounded
[A] Got my wings [C#m] clipped
I'm [A] surrounded [Am] by [E] all this pavement
Yes, I circle [D] [E] while I'm [Am] waiting
For my shoes to dry
Someday [C#m] I'll fall
[E] Someday I'll fall
[A]
Someday [C#m] I'll be
So [E] damn much more
[A] Cause [C#m] I'm forgiven [E] by the God
That gives me [A] credit for
Cause [C#m] I'm forgiven [E] by the God [D] Now
[C#m] Baby, [E]
[A]
[C#m] [E]
[A]
[F] [Em] I'm tangled [F]
in the power [Em] lines
And [F]
[G] it [F] [G] might be [F] over in a second, [G] [Em] sad
But [F]
[G] I'll [F] [Em] gladly go down in [B] a flame
If [F#m] a flame's what it takes to remember [E] my name
To remember my name, yeah
Yes, I'm [D] grounded
[A] Got my [E] wings clipped
I'm surrounded [A] by all this pavement
[E] Yes, I circle while I'm [Am] waiting
For my shoes to dry
Wait for my shoes to dry
[C#m] Someday I'll fall
[E] Someday I'll fall
[A]
Someday [C#m] I'll be
So [E] damn much more
[A] Cause [C#m] I'm forgiven [E] by the God
[A] Forgiven by the God
[F#m] Forgiven [E] by the God
