    G - C - Em - C

 

   G                                     C

1.    Buckle up, it's time to go

                                                        Em                           C

    to those places you don't wanna go, nothing lasts forever.

G                                              C

    Over the hills and winding roads

                                                          Em

    float in the seas and woods that grow,

                                          C

    swallow me whole, surrender.

                           G

    You think I'm anti-fragile, my glass don't break,

               C

    don't build your wall so high, escape,

                  Em

    all your fears are locked inside of you,

     C                                                    - D

    love is trying to break on through.

 

   G                                                   C

2.    Knuckle down and bend your bow,

                                             Em

    shoot the arrow, let fires glow,

                                       C

    the sun won't burn forever.

G                                                            C

    What stars align, what goes up in smoke

                                                                     Em

    what breaks your heart, what hurts you most

                                             C

    ends up in the rear-view mirror.

                           G

    You think I'm anti-fragile, my glass don't break,

               C

    don't build your wall so high, escape,

                  Em

    all your fears are locked inside of you,

     C                                                    - D

    love is trying to break on through.

 

D                                             C

    Are you trapped under the ice,

                                                D

the lake we swam in brighter times ?

                                          C

Are you trying to find the hole to breathe

                                   G - C       Em                            C    - D
