 Verse 2
 
 Gravity, I can't forget
 You saved my hide a thousand ways
 Gravity, I can't forgive
 You let me go
 I fell away when I was afraid
 
 Falling away
 Out into space
 Losing all my breath when I was afraid

 Chorus 1
 E            
 Fear was mine
 G#                 
 Fear was by my side
 E              
 It kept me well
         G#            
 Hell, it kept me alive
 A                       B        
 I counted days as they faded away
 A           B                     
 I only felt sane when I was afraid
 
 Love, it held me near
 You held me close
 I couldn't die when I was afraid
 You held me close
 I couldn't die
 I couldn't live when I was afraid
 
 E            
 Fear was mine
 G#                 
 Fear was by my side
 E              
 It kept me well
         G#            
 Hell, it kept me alive
 A                       B        
 I counted days as they faded away
 A           B                     
 I only felt sane when I was afraid
