B                                               G#m
Here I am awake and takin' every chance I'm given.
B
Feelin' more and more alive with every note
           G#m
I'm singin'

E                     F#
I do all I do until I can't go on.
E                       F#
I put all I do into the song.

Chorus:
B                                         G#m
So when the day comes that I don't wake up
I'll float away full of love like helium
      F#
From heaven I won't worry,
         E                             B
Cause I left behind one hell of a story.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G#m
Float away full of love like helium,
      F#
From heaven I won't worry,
         E
Cause I left behind one hell of a story.

When I walk I walk until my shoes are
torn and tattered
For my love I'll fight until my body's
bruised and battered
That's all that matters

I do all I do until I can't go on
I put all I do into the song

Chorus

G#m                        F#
Open your eyes and soak it up
                     G#m                         E
this life ain't long enough, to love all that you
can.
           F#
I'm rising up, I'm rising up up up

Chorus:
So when the day comes that I don't wake up
I'll float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
Float away, full of love, like helium
From heaven I won't worry
'Cause I left behind one hell of a story
I left behind one hell of a story
I left behind one hell of a story
