Verse 

Am 
What would you do 
Am/G             D7/F# 
if it all came back to you? 
Am 
Each crest of each wave 
Am/G             D7/F# 
bright as lightning. 

Am 
What would you say 
Am/G             D7/F# 
if you had to leave today? 
Am  
leave everything behind 
Am/G             D7/F# 
even though for once, you're shining. 


Chorus 

C               G 
Standing on higher ground 

when you hear the sounds 
                 D 
you realize it's just the whim. 
C                 G 
And you notice it matters 
                 D 
who and what you let under your skin. 

Verse 

Am 
If Put to the test 
Am/G                 D7/F# 
would you step back from the line of fire? 
Am  
Hold everything back 
Am/G             D7/F# 
all emotions set desire. 
Am               Am/G
Convince yourself   to be someone else 
D7/F# 
and come back from the world your lack of confidence. 
Am                   Am/G
What you choose to believe in 
                           D7/F# 
Dictates your rise or your fall 


                            C 
Dictates your rise or your fall 
                   G 
with no one else around you 

no one to understand you 
                    D 
no one to hear your calls. 
C                          G 
Look through all your dark corners 
                               D 
you're backed up against the wall 

                           Am        Am/G      D7/F# 
Step back from the line of fire x 8
