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

   x2

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

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