G
Lift me up on my honour
Take me over this spell
D
Get this weight off my shoulders
                 G
I`ve carried it well
Loose these shackles of pressure
                        E
Shake me out of these chains
                    F#
Lead me not to temptation

              G
Hold my hand harder
         D/F#
Ease my mind
                       Em
Roll down the smoke screen
               A
And open the sky

Chorus:
         D
Let me fly
Man, I need a release from
This troublesome mind
Fix my feet when they`re stumbling
                      G
And well you know it hurts sometimes
                      A
You know it`s gonna bleed sometimes

Bm
Dig me out from this thorn tree
Help me bury my shame
Keep my eyes from the fire
They can`t handle the flame
G
Grace cut out from my brothers
                   Em G
When most of them fell
            Em A
I carry it well

Chorus

A
Now hold on
D
I`m not looking for sweet talk
I`m looking for time
Top a tower and sleep walk
                   G
Brother, cause it hurts sometimes
                      A
You know it`s gonna bleed sometimes
     F#m D G Em A
Hold on

                     D
You know it`s gonna hurt sometimes
          Bm
When you call me
     G
Hold on
     D Bm
Hold on
     G A
Hold on

            D
I`m gonna climb that symphony
home and make it mine
Let his resonance light my way
                G
See, all these pessimistic
sufferers tend to drag me down
A
So I could use it to shelter
what good I`ve found.
