    F
I meant it all and every part
    A#sus2
And every word right from the start
      Dm                              C
I'll never let this love fall in the middle

             F
'Cause you know you broke the hardest part
      A#sus2
You know you broke the hardest heart
      Dm                              C
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
           A#sus2 Dm C
Through it all

Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
Swimming bold against a stream that's mocking
as it races
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
Crack a smile just to hide the race that's inside
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for
the rail
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
One in a million, still I keep feeling you
keep me from a fall
A world to lose coming back with you tall
Through it all

Chorus:
    F
No parachutes no safety nets here
     A#sus2
One foot on the water to face these fears
     Dm
I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong
         C                        A#sus2
I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle"

Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs
One life to write one, two years to repeat
Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore's in store
Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock
down the door
Thirty something here I'm running with
kisses for one girl
These scars upon my sleeve still casting
out my pearls
Throw each stone microphone like it's my last turn
With a kiss to the abyss and watch
the ripples return
Through it all

Chorus

    F              A#sus2                 F 
And I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright
                C
With you by my side
           F               A#sus2
And I said I'm gonna be alright,
                 F 
I'm gonna be alright
                        C
With you through this fight
           A#sus2 Dm C
Through it all

Chorus:
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot on the water to face these fears
I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong
I said "Hey, I won't fall in the middle" - x2

I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all
