VERSE1:REEF 1
my misery has enjoyed company
and although I have ached
I don't threaten anybody
BRIDGE1:
sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to

VERSE2:REEF1
I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
my happy endings prevented
BRIDGE2:
sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do


CHORUS:
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)


VERSE3:REEF 1
I could be golden 
I could be glowing 
I could be freedom
but that could be boring
BRIDGE 3:
sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you


chorus
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bigness and ensuing solitude

SPECIAL VERSE: USE REEF 2 OR CHORDS:

Ebminor       F#              Ebminor       F#
this talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down
Ebminor       F#              Ebminor       F#
under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone

VERSE4, REEF 1.
I could be full 
I could be thriving 
I could be shining
sounds isolating
BRIDGE 4:
sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do

chorus
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
F#M     F         F#      F
fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)

PEACE, LOVE , MUSIC AND FREEDOM. :-)
