C
I was down and out
Am
In the basement of my thought
Fm
With all my might just
C
wishing for the ceiling
C
How do I compare
Am
Where do I fall short

Hard to have a point of view
C
In a room without a door
Fm
Always looking for meaning
Am
Always looking for truth
Fm
So afraid of heights
G
But I climbed upon the roof
[Refrain]
C Em
And all my disillusion
Am Fm
And all my big ideas
C Em
And all my disappointment
Am Fm
And all my wasted years
C
They all blew away
C G
They all blew away

Up here

Smiles on all their faces

Wasn't time for roomination

Between the start and destination
[Refrain]

And all my disillusion
Am Fm
And all my big ideas
C Em
And all my disappointment
Am Fm
And all my wasted years
C
They all blew away
C G
They all blew away
C
Up here
