VERSE PATTERN
Am Em Am Em
You wanted a challenge that's calling you higher
I landed on my feet by crawling
I remember standing alone trying to forget you idling
I hate to admit that that's my reference point
Am Em Am Em D C
G Am Cmaj7
But there it is you say you want me
D C
I'm what you found, I'm upside down
G Am Cmaj7 G/C
You're in the air, you're in the air and I am breathing
(repeat verse pattern)
Brighten the stars
The weather is lifting the heavens love a love like this
It's pulling you higher twist it and turn this around
It lights from within it dribbles your chin
Now brings a smile, I'm lost again
D C G Am Cmaj7
I'm lost again
D C
I'm what you found, I'm upside down
G Am Cmaj7
You're in the air, you're in the air and I am breathing you
