 basically all downstrokes
 (12 times G, 2 times D, 1 empty upstroke, 12 times C, 2 times D, 1 empty upstroke
 and then begin anew)
I  love the feeling when we lift up
Watching  the world so small below
I  love the dreaming when I think of
The  safety in the clouds out my window
I  wonder what keeps us so high up
Could  there be a love beneath these wings
If  we suddenly fall should I scream out
Or  keep very quite and cling to my mouth  as I'm crying
So frightened  of dying
Relax  yes I’m trying
 But fears  got a hold  on me
 Yes, this fears got a hold on  me
 Yes, this fears  got a hold on me
 (change of rhythm here: 12 times G , and Em and C each 6 times - listen to the
 song than you will understand)
 x2
I  love the quiet of the night time
When  the sun is drown in the deathly sea
I  can feel my heart beating as I speed from
Then  sense of time catching up with me
The  sky's set out like a pathway
But  who decides which road we take
As  people drift into a dream world
I  close my eyes as my hands shake and when  I see a new day
 Bm---D
 Who's driving this anyway
I picture  my own grave
 Cause fears  got a hold  on me
 Emc
  Yes this fears got a hold on me
 Yes this fears  got a hold on me
 Yes this fears got a hold on me
 Yes this fears got a hold on me
Floating  neither up  or down I wonder  when I'll hit  the ground
 Will the earth  beneath my body  shake
 And cast  your sleeping hearts  awake
 Could it tremble  stars from moonlit  skies
 Could it drag  a tear from your  cold eyes
 I live  on the right side I sleep  in the left
 Thats why everythings  got to be love or death

 Yes this fears got a hold on me.....
