Something's in the air, something's in the air

Something big

It's like that feeling when you're about to win the medal
And you worked so hard, that you knew you wouldn't settle
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen
It's like an anthem that the whole world's singing
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air, woah

Chorus

Gm       A#   Cm        F
Wo-oa-oa-oah, yeah yea-eah
       Gm
If we stomp our feet the ground will shake
       A#
If we clap our hands the walls will break
Cm
Yell so loud won't forget our names
        D#
'Cause something big is happening
Gm
Take this pack and start a fire
A#
Raise this up we're feeling higher
Cm
They can't tell us anything
        D#                       Cm
'Cause something big is happening

Chorus:
Something big, I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing, pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones
Like oh, woah, woah, oh, woah
Something big is happening, oh
Oh, woah, woah, oh, woah
Something big, I feel it happening, oh
