[Verse - Bella]
G C D G
When I was five out on the lake, my family told me to jump but my knees would shake
G C D G
Was a twenty foot drop from the balcony, my father told me to jump or we'd have to leave
G Am D G
I lept off and before I knew, I was in the air for a minute or two
G C D G
And after all was said and done was one of the craziest things I had ever done.
[Chorus - Bella]
G C D G
Though I left my family, and they're miles and miles be-hind me
G C D G
When I get sad or unhappy I know they'll be right be-side me
G Am D G
Cause after all we've been through, the miles don't mean much, it's true
G C D G
They'd travel the land and across the sea if they knew it means that much to me
[Bridge - James]
G C D G G
I did some crazy stuff too with my family when I was li-ving back home
[Bridge - Bella]
C D G
Yeah, Like what?
[Verse - James]
G C D G
I was 10 and thought it would be cool to try front flippin' into the pool
G C D G
Took off runnin' like a horse in a race, jumped too high and fell on my face
G Am D G
My ma saw bubbles and I didn't come up, she tried cpr and on 'er I threw up
G C D G
She was just glad not to 'av lost her son was one of the craziest things I'd ever done
[Chorus - James]
G C D G
Though I left my family, and they're miles and miles be-hind me
G C D G
When I get sad or unhappy I know they'll be right be-side me
G Am D G
Cause after all we've been through, the miles don't mean much, it's true
G C D G
They'd travel the land and across the sea if they knew it means that much to me
[Verse - Both]
G C D G
We were sittin' on our boat drinkin' iced tea, weather was getting real windy
G C D G
Our ropes came out, our anchors unstuck. To keep onshore, we stepped into the muck.
G Am D G
The more we pushed, the more the wind blew, dad said If we don't make it, I know I'll miss you
G C D G
Somehow we freed her, she weighed a ton but still a crazier thing that I have done
[Outro]
G C D G
It was, Leaving my family, miles and miles be-hind me
G C D G
I became real sad and unhappy knowing they weren't be-side me
G Am D G
After all we'd been through, the miles were to much to for me and you
G C D G
I'll travel the land and across the sea cause my family means that much to me
[Outro]
G C D G (Quick Ending G)
Oh yes they mean - that much - to - me
