Chorus:
G
Blue skies
            Bm
Calling on blue skies
                 Am
Don't take them away, boys
                  D
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop

G
I've been to both knees
Raised my hands up to the skies, forgive me
Bm
Is something out there far beyond the clouds?
I'm asking help me
Am
Help me to see the world
Through baby eyes and hold me closely
D
I need a fresh start on the roller coaster
Made for coasting

It's time to wake up, time to make up
Time to shake these memories
It's time to leave the past in the past
And lace up a new set of shoestrings
I want the world to know I've got your back
Through up and down, see
So we can sit together, side by side
Through amazing

Chorus

I've broken every bone
And fell through what felt never-ending
I thought my head was made of sadness
My heart is mending
I scream at sunsets,
give applause to what I can't control
Then somehow laugh at how
The moon divides an ocean soul, well

I wanna be that ocean
I wanna shine like that
I want to smile so big,
my daughter jumps into my lap
I wanna tell her daddy's fine and always plans to be
Then take her in my arms
This is what we'll always see

Chorus:
Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop loving my
Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys
Don't take them away, yeah

Am                               D
And when I'm gone, I won't go screaming in the end
  G                                 Em
'Cause I'll give you everything my life amounts to
Am
So raise this life up with me
D                  Bm
And baby, let's go dancing
Come on!

Chorus:
Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys
Never take them away
Don't take them away
No, no, no
