A        C#m
Two hearts, one valve
B
Pumpin' the blood, we were the flood
We were the body and
A       C#m
Two lives, one life
B
Stickin' it out, lettin' you down
Makin' it right

 A
Seasons, they will change
C#m
Life will make you grow
  B
Dreams will make you cry, cry, cry
A
Everything is temporary
C#m
Everything will slide
 B
Love will never die, die, die

Chorus:
I know that
A  C#m
Ooh,
B
Birds fly in different directions
A  C#m
Ooh,
B
I hope to see you again

Sunsets, sunrises
Livin' the dream, watchin' the leaves
Changin' the seasons
Some nights I think of you
Relivin' the past, wishin' it'd last
Wishin' and dreamin'

Seasons, they will change
Life will make you grow
Death can make you hard, hard, hard
Everything is temporary
Everything will slide
Love will never die, die, die

Chorus

F#m      C#m              E  G#m
When the moon is lookin' down
F#m         C#m                E   G#m
Shine that light up for your ground
F#m       C#m             E G#m
I'm flyin' up to let you see
F#m       C#m            E G#m B
That the shadow cast is me

Chorus

Ooh,
So fly high, so fly high
Ooh,
So fly high, so fly high
