Intro

| Esus | F | Dm7 |Em | Esus | F | Dm7 | Am/E | x2

Verse 1

I was stained by a role in the day not my own
but as you walked into my life, you showed what needed to be shown
and I always knew what was right I just didn't know that I might
peel away and choose to see such a different sight

Chorus

and I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if I held down and
I will always reach too high cause I have seen
F2 Gsus Esus | F | Dm7 | Em | Esus | F | Dm7 | Am/E
cause I have seen twilight

Verse 2

never cared, never wanted, never sought to see what flaunted
so on purpose, so in my face, couldn't see beyond my own place
it was so easy not to behold what I could hold. But you taught me
I could change whatever came within these shallow days

Chorus

and I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if I held down and
I will always reach too high cause I have seen
cause I have seen.......

Bridge

As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
it fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead
and I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
but as illusion dies, I see there is so much to be revealed 

Chorus

and I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if I held down and
I will always reach too high cause I have seen
G2 Asus F#sus | G | Em7 | F#m | F#sus | G | Em7 | Bm/F#
cause I've seen twilight

Verse 3

I was stained by a role in the day not my own
but as you walked into my life, you showed what needed to be shown
and I always knew what was right I just didn't know that I might
peel away and choose to see such a different sight

Chorus

and I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if I held down and
I will always reach too high cause I have seen
G2 Asus F#sus | G | Em7 | F#m | F#sus | G | Em7 | Bm/F#
cause I've seen twilight
