[Verse 1]
G Am C Em C
I was supposed to do great things
I know the ruler's law
But I wasn't raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on
I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
G Am C Em D
If you start from scratch and have to sing
Just for the fun of it
C G D
I'll be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
G Am C Em C
I feel the air upon my face, forget the mess I'm in
G Am C Em D
Hold me again, don't count mistakes, I lost track of them
[Chorus]
C G D
I'll be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
[Verse 2]
C Em D D7
I was in the mud, I was in the dirt
Went underground and I thought what I was worth
All alone and I know I can't stay, but
We're walking up and down the streets to stay awake
[Refrain]
C G D
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C Em D D7
Get outside, get out over the world
You'll learn to love what you get in return
It may be permanent, it may be peace of mind
But you hold it all down and breathe one breath a time
[Refrain]
C G D
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
[Chorus]
(same as the first one)
I'll be alright, if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
I'll be alright, if I could just see you
A miracle mile where does it lead to?
