INTRO:

D  D/F#  G  A   D  D/F#  G  A

 

(chorus)

D  D/F#    G     G/A  A     D  D/F#      G          G/A  A7

I   Can’t Keep My   Feet on   the   Ground

 

D  D/F#    G     G/A  A     D  D/F#      G          G/A  A7

I   Can’t Keep My   Feet on   the   Ground

 

D G/D             D     G/D                     G                            A

I am riding so high I’m flying, and I feel like I’ll never die

D   G/D              D    G/D                       G                 A

Life is not just a test for heaven, every day can be paradise

D   G/D                      D                  G/D                   G                                          A

For too long all the thoughts were burnin’ in my mind they kept me weighed down

Bm      D/A       G     D/F#  Em  Em Em  F#m  G A

Sinking in the ocean of myself ‘til you came around

 

(chorus)

 

D   G/D               D   G/D                            G                            A

My eye’s seeing the same old world, but today it’s covered in light

D   G/D              D    G/D                                            G                    A

My voice sings out the same old song, but now the music feels so right

D   G/D               D      G/D                   G                           A

Oh, the melody rings inside my ears, I soon forget about me

Bm      D/A         G         D/F#       Em  Em  Em  F#m  G    A

I    real- ize I’ve always had it – the power to set my-self  free

 

(bridge)

Bm                    D/A           G                   G/E

If you had your life to live over and over again

G/A     A Bm                    D/A              G              A/F#  A/G   A

Would it be hell or would it be heaven, it is your choice my friend

Bm                                D/A                       G           D/G  D/A   D/G  D/F#

Some folks say they’ll change their life as soon as they    get    the   time

Em   D/F#    G            D/F#                A

I say time is here and now so, don’t you get left behind

 

 

 

 

 

 

(chorus)

 

My head’s level and my heart’s happy, my soul is so relieved

 

That I found the place within – that’s the place to be

 

After all of this time I’ve been searching for it, I can finally see

 

I am turning into the person I was destined to be

 

(chorus)
