F I meant it all and every part A#sus2 And every word right from the start Dm C I'll never let this love fall in the middle F 'Cause you know you broke the hardest part A#sus2 You know you broke the hardest heart Dm C I'll never let this love fall in the middle A#sus2 Dm C Through it all Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces Swimming bold against a stream that's mocking as it races In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky Crack a smile just to hide the race that's inside Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall A world to lose coming back with you tall Through it all Chorus: F No parachutes no safety nets here A#sus2 One foot on the water to face these fears Dm I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong C A#sus2 I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle" Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs One life to write one, two years to repeat Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore's in store Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door Thirty something here I'm running with kisses for one girl These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls Throw each stone microphone like it's my last turn With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return Through it all Chorus F A#sus2 F/A And I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright C With you by my side F A#sus2 And I said I'm gonna be alright, F/A I'm gonna be alright C With you through this fight A#sus2 Dm C Through it all Chorus: No parachutes or safety nets here One foot on the water to face these fears I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong I said "Hey, I won't fall in the middle" - x2 I meant it all and every part And every word right from the start I'll never let this love fall in the middle Through it all You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#sus2  C  Dm  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
