[verse]
D                        G
You were shopping at the Sky Mall.
C                     A7/C#
I was looking out the window.
        D         G           C      A7/C#
We were scared to fly, but we flew.
        D         G           D
We were scared to fly, but we flew.

[verse]

D                      G
We were sitting in the back seat,
C                 A7/C#
Of a cold Russian taxi.
        D         G             C      A7/C#
We were scared to speak, but we spoke.
        D         G             D
We were scared to speak, but we spoke.
 

[chorus]
A                             
All of these people have nothing left to prove.
G
The ones that are still standing there are too scared to move.
     A
They look at their families and they look at their friends.
         Bm                          G            A
And they take a deep breath and they take a small step.
         Bm                          G            A            D                   
And they take a deep breath and they take a small step if they can.


[verse]

D                     G
We were standing on a cliff wall,
C                    A7/C#
Above a cold rushing river.
        D         G            C      A7/C#
We were scared to jump, but we did.
        D         G            D
We were scared to jump, but we did.


[chorus]
A    
All of these people are trying not to shop.
G
The ones that are still standing there are too scared to stop.
     A
And they look at their families and they look at their carts.
         Bm                          G            A
And they take a deep breath and they leave the Walmart.
         Bm                          G            A            D   
They take a deep breath and they leave that crap behind.

[verse]

D                    G
We were sitting on a sofa,
C                     A7/C#
In a strangely quiet apartment.
        D         G             C      A7/C#
We were scared to speak, but we spoke.
        D         G             D
We were scared to speak, but we spoke.
