[Verse 1]
Am
Falling hard
G6
Falling fast
Am
G7sus2 *
Somehow landing with both feet on the ground
B7
A dream so real
E7
So inspired
Am
I can still smell the smoke and the fire
Am
When I'm gone
G6
What I fear
Am
G7sus2 *
The most unthinkable thing
B7
Is that somehow
E7
I will never
Am
Again feel my arms around you
[Chorus]
C
Oh, when I'm gone
Em
And lost too far away
Am
Try to remember sometimes
F
Make you laugh, and make you smile
C F C
Little things keep me goin'
[Verse 2]
Am G6
A little boy with broken arms
Am
He used to dream
G7sus2 *
That he could fly
B7
A dream so real
E7
That he believed
Am
He jumped from the top of the stairs
Am G6
For a moment he was there
Am
G7sus2 *
Wings spread, wide as the sky
B7
But then of course,
E7
the world pulled him down
Am
Crash landing
Am
On the ground
[Chorus]
C
Oh, when I'm gone
Em
Feelin' lost and far away
Am
Try to remember sometimes
F
I'm gonna fumble until I find
C F C
The little things keep me goin'
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

With every step
G6
We were sure
Am
G7sus2 *
What the next step should be
B7 E7
Well then at least we would know
Am G6 Am
G7sus2 *
How we ended up here
B7 E7
What would change if we were sure
Am
How we ended up here
[Chorus]
C
Oh, when I'm gone
Em
Feelin' lost and far away
Am
Try to remember sometimes
F
I'm gonna fall before I fly

Little things keep me goin'

Little things keep me goin'
