C       G              F               C
I feel lighter than I have in so much time
                  G
I've crossed the borderline of weightless
           F                   C
One deep breath out from the sky
                G                 F            C
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
         G                               F
All our weight is just a burden offered to
           C
us by the world

Chorus:
              Em             E7
And though I burn, how could I fall?
           Am       G               F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me
       Dm                 G
If anything could fall at all, it's the world
             C
That falls away from me

You have me floatin' 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 holdin' up the ground
But I can see that all along, love,
it was you all the way down

Chorus:
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

     Dm                      G
I do not have wings, love, I never will
        Am      C             F
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
         Dm                       G
If these heights should bring my fall
               Am
Let me be your own
  C      F
Icarian carrion

Chorus:
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
