D#
Outside there's a bird and it is singing
Gm                                     F
And outside of my window, there's a life
D#
I feel like someone's talking to my spirit
Gm                                          F
They tell me that there's reasons to survive

          A#
I could draw you a picture
I could write on my face
         F
I could read you a scripture of tales

Chorus:
               D#               Gm
And I know, no matter how much colder
               A#           F
Or how much I carry on my shoulders
                D#                 Gm
As long as I'm standing, I'll be closer
               A#              F
Cause it ain't over, 'til it's over
             D#      Gm
But we don't get down
             A#     F
No we don't get down
             D#
We can turn this 'round
     Gm
And maybe
        A#       F
It's today ahh yeahh

Cause all these scenes of grief got my head spinnin'
And we're dancing on the edge of a knife
And could I be your hero or your villain
Uhh, I guess it just depends in whose eyes

I could draw you a picture
I could write all my fears
I could read you a scripture of tears

Chorus

                D#
And I don't get down
                  Gm
Cause you lift me up
               A#
No I don't get down
                  F
Cause you lift me up - x4

Chorus
