E      A    Asus    E     A    
  Ah...(oh), ah-ah,  Ah...(oh),

   E            A                
At overlooking the canyon, right 
E         A
where I'm descending, I swear I,
        E            A            
See my former glory, still 
         G             A
burning, it had every intent of 
returning

E      A    Asus    E     A
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

    E                A            
And years of planning the landing,
    E                   A
 to prepare for jumping the canyon
         E             A          
It's not death-defying, or 
           G                
cheering, it's the thrill of 
   A
clearing, barely clearing

CHORUS:
E          A    B        E     
And if I see no hope for me, I 
A         B        E
still see hope for you
       A            B      E     
In the high-rise of the morning, 
    A              B         E
the exception that proves my rule


E      A    Asus    E     A    (x2)
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)    (x2)

          E       A            
Still I'm tying up loose ends, I 
           E             A
tied them to a chair to defy them
   E                      A   
To protect and hide them, untie 
                 G              
them, these are not the ones you 
  A
won't untie 'em


E      A    Asus    E     A
Ah...(oh), ah-ah, Ah...(oh)

    E                  A      
And now I'm jumping the canyon, 
       E                  A
after years of planning and planning
      E           A          
It's a monumental challenge: a 
                   G             
feeling you must fight before you 
  A
start free-wheelin'


E          A    B        E     
And if I see no hope for me, I 
A         B        E
still see hope for you
       A            B      E     
In the wide eyes of the morning, 
    A              B         E
the exception that proves my rule


G  O: E, A, Asus, E, A, Asus, E, A, 
Asus


E          A    B        E     
And if I see no hope for me, I 
A         B        E
still see hope for you
       A            B      E     
In the high-rise of the morning, 
    A              B         E
the exception that proves my rule
E  A  Asus               E, A, Asus 
                  (x2)
          Proves my rule!           
Proves my rule!   (x2)
