Verse: 1 
Bm                     A 
  At the starting line, a never ending race 
E                    D 
  What I've got inside isn't common place 
Bm                        A 
  I've been dreaming 'bout hopeful better days 
E                          D 
  Time for dreaming's done, time to face the sun 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Bm       A   E       D 
Flying high above the world 
Bm                    A 
  And it's a new life, it's a new mind 
E            Bm 
  And I will never fall

I set my soul on fire

Ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay-ay, ay (The time is now)

Ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay-ay, ay ay-ay-ay-ay     (The time is now) 
 
Verse: 2 
Bm             A 
  I cannot stop, see another way 
F                F# 
  Am I looking for another cheap escape? 
Bm                     A 
  I've been pushing forward, crushing everything 
F                    F# 
  It's a push and pull, it's a give and take 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Bm       A   F   F#

  And I will never fall
