[Verse 1]
G             Cadd9                     G               Cadd9
Sand on his shoes, finally reached the shore.
G             Cadd9                     G               Cadd9
After miles of blue, he’s standing at the door.
        Em7                           D
We were fearless in dreams. Now we're here,
                       C
now we see the fight before us.
             Cadd9       D      P.M.
And you say that this is hopeless. But I say,

[Chorus]
Cadd9          G        D                         Em7
come on get livin’. The past is the past. There's no going back now.
C             G               D
Don't want to miss this. It's time to let go of that
Em7           D              G               Cadd9
moment you're chasing. We're here now, we've made it.
C            G                   D       P.M.
Come on just light the match and turn and watch the ships burn.

[Verse 2]
G             Cadd9                  G             Cadd9
I'm tired of talking; I'm ready to begin.
            G         Cadd9                       G             Cadd9
I might be crazy for leaving, but brother I'm all in.
Em7                                           D
Open doors, pounding chests, the choice is yours,
                           C
all that's left is walking through it.
                Cadd9      D    P.M.
And you say that you can't do it. But I say,

[Chorus]
