Falling Upward

   A                     E
A dragonfly landed on my friend 
Linn's fingertip
  Dsus2                          A
Reminding us we need to rest on this
 the long strange trip
    F#m          Dsus2            
But also we did whisper that some 
   A                E
change was on it's way
    F#m             Dsus2         
The old world it is crumbling and 
     E
the new one starts today
   A                               
I played the smart professor, yes I
 E
 tried it on for size
    Dsus2                          
I'm done with facts and figures now
    A
 I hunger to be wise
        F#m          Dsus2        
And I'm finding some okayness deep
     A                E
 inside this veil of tears
F#m             Dsus2        
Some call it delusion I call it 
     E
getting on in years


[Chorus]
        Dsus2                      
Falling upward, the pain of youth 
   A
is gone
    Dsus2             A           
One day my plaintive morning 
    E
turned into a lovely song
        Dsus2                    
Falling upward, each step a quiet 
      A
victory
     Dsus2           A            
I'm finally inching forward toward
     E     Dsus2   A
 the man I long to be

[Verse]
 A                                 
Hand on heart each morning take my 
E
dose of daily bread
    Dsus2                          
And head off in the battle against 
      A
the voices in my head
      F#m          Dsus2          
They say I'm not worthy, that I'm 
    A                 E
not too scuffed up to pray
     F#m            Dsus2        
Well if there is a devil surely that
E
 is what he'd say
 A                                 
The world's a great seductress and 
   E
it wants me on it's team
 Dsus2                             
Best to heed the words of those 
    A
that woke up from the dream
         F#m           Dsus2      
So I'm reading all the holy books 
     A               E
and this is my 40th year
   F#m                  Dsus2     
Rejoice they say, have courage, be
     E
 content and of good cheer


[Chorus]
        Dsus2                      
Falling upward, the pain of youth 
   A
is gone
    Dsus2             A           
One day my plaintive morning 
    E
turned into a lovely song
        Dsus2                    
Falling upward, each step a quiet 
      A
victory
     Dsus2           A            
I'm finally inching forward toward
     E     Dsus2   A
 the man I long to be


[Verse]
 A                                
Life is very short it's true and I'm
E
 left wondering why
    Dsus2                          
The days they last forever and the 
  A
years they sail by
        F#m             Dsus2     
And the kid in me is confused 
        A                E
about this man's face in the mirror
   F#m             Dsus2          
It once was my complexion now it's
     E
 my conscience I want clear
  A                                
I cannot fix or save the world and 
  E
I know that that's alright
  Dsus2                          
Solutions they aren't coming from 
      A
the left or from the right
       F#m                Dsus2   
Like a great sage said in Ohio 
   A                   E
only love will heal this mess!
    F#m          Dsus2         
And now my contribution - loving 
   E
more and speaking less


[Chorus]
        Dsus2                      
Falling upward, the pain of youth 
   A
is gone
    Dsus2             A           
One day my plaintive morning 
    E
turned into a lovely song
        Dsus2                    
Falling upward, each step a quiet 
      A
victory
     Dsus2           A            
I'm finally inching forward toward
     E     Dsus2   A
 the man I long to be

     Dsus2           A            
I'm finally inching forward toward
     E     Dsus2   A
 the man I long to be
      Dsus2                        
Thank God I'm falling upward toward
     E     Dsus2   A
 the man I long to be
