C
I was down and out
Am 
In the basement of my thought
Fm 
With all my might just
C 
wishing for the ceiling

C 
How do I compare
Am
Where do I fall short
Fm 
Hard to have a point of view
C 
In a room without a door
Fm 
Always looking for meaning
Am 
Always looking for truth
Fm 
So afraid of heights
G 
But I climbed upon the roof


[Refrain]

C                 Em
And all my disillusion
Am                Fm
And all my big ideas
C                     Em
And all my disappointment
Am                   Fm
And all my wasted years

C 
They all blew away
C                G
They all blew away
C 
Up here


[Verse 2]

C 
I was up so high
Am 
I could finally see the sky
Fm 
there were neighborhoods that didn't (C) look like mine
C 
There were children running races
Am 
Smiles on all their faces
Fm 
Wasn't time for roomination
G 
Between the start and destination


[Refrain]

C                  Em
And all my disillusion
Am               Fm
And all my big ideas
C                     Em
And all my disappointment
Am                   Fm
And all my wasted years

C 
They all blew away
C                G
They all blew away
C 
Up here
