Capo: 1

Capo on 1 (G) D G D G

^Dthese days, i am used to strangers with no hello behind their eyes i c^Gut my dreams from paper and i know my su^Dbway lines the last thing that i need is s^Gaving

but ^Di'm having trouble sleepin' feels like my skin is gonna te^Gar

i want to breathe even, but there's not enough air

to give ^Bmme the li^Dftoff i'm cr^Gav^Aing CHORUS: ^Dso i'll remember this

as i stretch my wings:

for ^Gbirds like me, every beat's a reckoning ^Dand i'll take a breath

think i'm gaining ground

but ^Bmso did icarus b^Defore he ca^Gme teari^Dng do^Gwn ^Dthese days, smiling is a talent i may as well paint up a m^Gask

and label it "manhattan"

and maybe then no one will a^Dsk i'm too s^Acared to say that i'm ^Gtired

'cause i can g^Det very high pra^Gises from friends in high places but each t^Bmime i say that i'm ^Afine i know i'm the li^Gar ^A

CHORUS

^Di've been told ^Athat lonely s^Gouls ^Dnever make it past the threshold but i ^Bmwon't give in ^Ato the heavin^Gess i deserve something to w^Din

D G A

^Dso i'll remember this as i stretch my wings: for ^Gbirds like me,

every beat's a reckoning

^Dand i'll take a br^Aeath kicking off the g^Bmround oh brother icarus; i'll f^Gly before coming d^Bmown^D ^G ^Bmdow^Dn,^G ^Bmdow^An ^D
