[Verse 1]
Eb E
Years ago,
Eb E
when she started to glide
Eb E
her family tried to keep her
Eb E
on the ground,
E C#m Ab
but not her, no not her, not her
[Chorus 1]
Eb Cm
When she broke through the sky
Eb Cm
To where no one dared to fly
Ab E Fm
she knew she would die
Eb Cm
She felt all the passion, all the pain
Eb Cm
she would never be the same
Ab Fm Eb
When she broke through the sky
[Verse 2]
Em Fm
But the day the storm rider
Em Fm
was taken up, and up, and up
Gm Am
thirty thousand feet high
Em Fm
A spinning fruit fly tumbling past hail and thunder
Em Fm
The winds tore her asunder
Gm Am
Until she, like Icarus, she burned the sky
Em Fm
No chance to survive, no way to get down alive
Em Fm
from that forty degrees below
Gm Am
It all turned black and she prepared to go
[Chorus 2]
Eb Cm
When she broke through the sky
Eb Cm
To where no one dared to fly
Ab E Fm
she knew she would die
Eb Cm
She felt all the passion, all the pain
Eb Cm
she would never be the same
Ab Fm Eb
When she broke through the sky
[Verse 3]
Em Fm
When she awakes an hour later
Em Fm
the wind smashes her down,
Gm Am
Down, she is surfing down
Em Fm
And then she lands on the ground
Em Fm
Alive, still alive, she survived
Gm Am
After scratching the thin veil of space.
Cm Dm Em
Thirty thousand feet when she survived.
[Chorus 3]
Eb Cm
When she broke through the sky
Eb Cm
To where no one dared to fly
Ab E Fm
she knew she would die
Eb Cm
not the storm rider, she was only found
Eb Cm
in the oversoul sky,
Ab Fm Eb
only found in life unbound
