           B                              E

 If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

 I will take it all in one breath and hold it down 
         A                            B

          C#

 I will take it all in one breath and hold it down 
         A                            B 
 And if I try to pretend that I don't see it 
          C#

 No more distractions and no more staying still 
        B 
 I am chasing the skyline much more than you ever will
