The Otherside

I've spent my life close to the ground
So I can never see around
These walls with no beginning
And no end.
So when I dream I turn into a bird
So I can fly just high enough
To understand what makes me feel
I'm stuck inside this city.

Stɾeets filled with light and [Bm]tall [Em]glass towers
Fancy cars drive by for [Dm7]hours
Picking up and [Bm]dropping off
The suits who built this city
Educated minds who cheat to [C7]win
And pass their jobs to [C7]next of kin
Who sit inside their echo chambers
Thinkin' they're so witty.

For years and [Bm]years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand [Bm]that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to [C7]turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on [C7]the ocean.
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was [Am7]born with all [Em]this hunger
And an appetite to [C7]see beyond
These walls where I've been livin'

I found a way out, took me years
And most of my [A]blood, sweat and [Bm]tears
Anyone who hurt me
I've forgiven.
So save your breath
Don't waste your pity
When I come back I'll own this city
And I'll make sure I won't forget the otherside

For years and [Bm]years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand [Bm]that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to [C7]turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on [C7]the ocean.
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was [Am7]born with all [Em]this hunger
And an appetite to [C7]see beyond
These walls where I've been livin'

For years and [Bm]years now
I've been stuck
From thinkin' I'm not good enough
But now I understand [Bm]that I've been livin' on

The otherside, no one to [C7]turn to
You never feel the wind behind you
Like a ship without a sail
Out on [C7]the ocean.
The otherside, I've always wondered
Why I was [Am7]born with all [Em]this hunger
And an appetite to [C7]see beyond
