[Intro](x4)
Cmaj11 C#m D#sus2 / E C#m G# sus2/E
[Verse]
G#m
So why the sudden change
and what’s this all about?
Gm G#m
I know they speak your name,
but where’s the sound right now?
Gm G#m
I can’t stop praying you’ll hear me play.
Gm G#m A#m
I know that I’ll be with you there someday
[Chorus]
Fm
where the hell’s my hope,
Cadd9 Gm
and why can’t I just try?
Fm
You know I’ve lost a lot,
Cadd9 Gm
but I won’t let this die.
Fm Cadd9
you know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
Gm Fm Cadd9
and another reason not to fear the sky
Gm
no, not tonight.
[Verse](x1)
G#m
Can I pull out all the stops,
G#m
and get out of this town?
G#m
I want to make you proud,
but I really don’t know how.
Gm G#m A#m G#m
I know it’s not helping to hear me say,
A#m G#m A#m G#m
“I wish it was me in the car that day.”
A#m C maj11
Though something made me stop and think of what you said.
Cmaj11
You know it meant a lot,
Cmaj11
but I was just a kid,
Cmaj11
one with all these dreams of growing up and playing music on the road.
Cmaj11
I’ve been screaming all these years and thinking of your bones.
[Chorus](x4)
Fm
So where's my hope?
Cadd9 Gm
and why can’t I just try?
Fm
You know I’ve lost a lot,
Cadd9 Gm
but I won’t let this die.
Fm Cadd9
you know I’ve got a friend up in the atmosphere,
Gm Fm Cadd9
and another reason not to fear the sky
Gm
no, not tonight.

[Verse]
G#m
I wrote this note,
A#m
because I never even told you.
G#m
You know I’ve got some things to sing about,
A#m
like we were young and holding true
G#m A#m
to all these songs that always made us pull through,
G#m
and now I’ve got some words that I’ll write down.
A#m
I’m sending this shit out.
[Chorus]

and another reason not to fear the sky

no, not tonight, no not tonight.
