A
Fade to black the camera’s rolling
E
Open roads where are we going
D                           E
Unprepared and unaware we steer
 A
Faster every day we’re breathing
 E
Faster than a bullet speeding
  D                              E
Photos make our memories stand clear

       Bm           E
We’re dancing into life
          Bm        D           E
Like we broke in, crashing the night

Chorus:
       A                        F#m
Push ahead, push ahead past the highest ledge
   D                 E
Tonight is ours with every step
       A                       F#m
Push ahead, push ahead such a beautiful sight
      D                  E
After every hill we’ve climbed,
      Bm    C#m      D  E
it’s never been so clear
            Bm        C#m
And at the top we’d scream,
    D               E         A
“I really like the view from here”

Racing for a new beginning
Chasing roads that are never-ending
Here's our chance to drive new history
Best times yet around the corner
Catching dreams without a border
We are here and we are finally free

We're dancing into life like we broke in
Crashing the night

Chorus

            F#m                         D
So take my hand, take a chance, take a bow
                  A                           E
Take your moment now, ‘cause it’s a long way down
            F#m                       D
So take a stand, take a shot, take a bow
                  A                           E
Take your moment now, ‘cause it’s a long way down

Push ahead, push ahead
Past the highest ledge
Tonight is ours - x2

Chorus
