[Verse]
FC
A field, desolate
G
And underfoot
F
A tarmac river flows
FC
I wait to depart
G
An inconceivable aught
F
When you're no wings and all elbows
FC
Oh, it's so cold
G
I watch my breath unfold
F
It wraps us in a cloud of gloom
FC
Through adversity
GF
Hope must not become the casualty
[Bridge]
FC
It's common for people to believe
Am
Everything happens for a reason
F
I'm sorry that's false, and it's poison
FC
But even if there is no purpose
Am
To the things that you have gone through
F
An ordeal can reveal an airfield
[Verse]
FC
Stop, disown fear
G
And I'll be here
F
If you need a friend, my dear
[Chorus]

[Verse]
F
When the wind's against you
G
Remember this insight:
Am
That's the optimal condition
G
For birds to take flight
F
Now the wind's against you
GC
Don't give up the fight
