silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
                             Dm                                                    G  
don't you know that powerful thinking
                  Dm                                                              G

they say that hanging on will justify the wait
             A                                                                    Em7/B

(Chorus)
F                                                                            G

i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
F                                                                    G  
i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade
Em                                 G                            Am                 G                         Dm
