E           G               D F#m
I want the sun to shine on me
E           G               D  A
I want the truth to set me free
E           G               D  F#m
I wish the followers would lead
        E                         G              D     A
with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees

Chorus:
 G                    Bm                    D       E
hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming
 G                   Bm              D  E
hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off
 G              A#           D    E
hold onto this boy a little longer
 C             G              D
take another trip around the sun

If I jumped into the ocean to believe
If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach?
Do I even dare to speak, to dream, believe?
Give me a voice so strong I can question what I have seen

Chorus

            D
around the sun
            D
around the sun
            D
around the sun

 D      F              C  G
let my dreams set me free.
   D    F   C   G
believe. believe.

    Em
