[Verse  1]
                            Bb
They kicked me out of the parade
                          F/A
I guess I had too much to say
                          Gm
I Couldn't bend to fit myself
           Gm
inside the lines And I have
Eb                          F
wasted all this time just trying


[Verse 2]
                             Bb
Those pretty boys and pretty girls
                             F/A
Live in their pretty plastic world
                               Gm
They're so convinced that everything
                               Eb
is black and white That we are wrong
                               F
and they are right They always told
                        F
us not to fight Kept us grounded
        F
when we should be flying


[Chorus 1]
Eb                   Gm  F
  Don't be afraid to fall
             Eb
You know the ground is never
                  Bb Eb
too far from the sky   And
                    Gm   F
they can have their walls
       Gm
The universe has bigger
F                 Eb Eb
plans for you and I    So baby
             F
hold up your head now Don't
                      Gm Eb
ever let them see you cry


[Verse 3]
I know you're caught up in the
Bb
show And it's so hard to let it
F/A
go To lose the mask you always
Gm
hid yourself behind To live a
Eb
life of your design To say
       F
what's really on your mind
            F
To come out of the dark and shine


[Chorus 2]
Eb                   Gm  F
  Don't be afraid to fall
             Eb
You know the ground is never
                  Bb Eb
too far from the sky   And
                    Gm   F
they can have their walls
       Gm
The universe has bigger
F                 Eb Eb
plans for you and I    So baby
             F
hold up your head now Don't
              F
ever let them see you cry


[Bridge]
Gm Cm                  Eb
     If you could only see that
         Bb              Bb
There is so much more to life
         Cm
than this  And everything you
Eb              F
are is beautiful And you
         F
are everything there is
