Dm                        C
I want to be the king of my body and mind
Gm       Am     A#
Gravity, let me go
Dm                      C
Before it bruises and blackens me and you
Gm      Am      A#
Bury me in the glow

And I find sorrow in idle minds
And solace in being heard
You better run, boy, run, but be afraid
Cry, boy, cry, don't play the game
Gravity holds me down

Chorus:
          Dm        A#
And it's taking over
       F
I call everywhere, oh
       C
I cry out
        Dm         A#
You are my destroyer
       F
I call everywhere, oh
       C
I cry out

A light shines through a cloud of color fumes
Gravity, let me go
So I can feel the warmth of the sun
Bury me in the glow

You better run, boy, run, but be afraid
Cry, boy, cry, don't play the game
Gravity holds me down

Chorus - x2
