G                           D   C  D
I love the feeling when we lift off
Watching the world so small below
I love the dreaming when I think of
The safety in the clouds out my window
I wonder what keeps us so high up
Could there be love beneath these wings?
If we suddenly fall, should I scream out?

G                                  Bm
Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as
I'm crying
     D
So frightend of dying
   G
Relax yes I’m trying
     A           C       G
But fears got a hold on me

Bm                            Em
Yes, this fears got a hold on me
Bm         D                   G
Yes, this fears got a hold on me

I love the quiet of the nighttime
When the sun has drowned in a deathly sea
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
The sense of time catching up with me
The sky set out like a pathway
But who decides which route we take?
As people drift into a dreamworld
I close my eyes as my hands shake

And will I see a new day?
Who's driving this anyway?
I picture my own grave
'Cause fear's got a hold on me

Chorus:
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

  C              D             G
Floating neither up or down I wonder when
     Em
I'll hit the ground
          C                D
Will the earth beneath my body shake
     G                   Em
And cast your sleeping hearts awake

Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies?
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?
I'll live on the right side and sleep on the left
That’s why everything's got to be love or death
