Verse 1G
he could have turned in...turned in..but he turned out
D
a bad time, nothing could save him
G
alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
D
he got up out of their way, ran for hundreds of miles
G
he made it to the ocean, had a smoke and a tea
D
the wind rose up, set him down on his knees
GA wave came crashin' like a fist to the jaw
D
delivered him.. wings high, look at him now
G
arms wide open with the sea as he's flung
D
oh how...ohhhh...
ChorusC9 Mute C9C9/BG (repeat) GD
he is flyin...ohhh....high....whyyy....ohhhh.....
Verse 2G
he floated back down cause he wanted to share
D
this key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere...
G
but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by a faceless man, the fuckers
D
he still stands...
G
and he still gives his love, he just gives it away
D
the love he receives is the love that is saved
G
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky...
DA HUMAN BEING THAT WAS GIVEN TO FLY
C9 Mute C9C9/BG (repeat) GD
he is flyin...ohhh....high....whyyy....ohhhh.....
