Tone: [D]
Verse 1:
[D]he could have turned in...turned in..but he turned out
a bad time, nothing could save him [A]
[D]alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up out of their way, ran for hundreds of [A]miles
[D]he made it to the ocean, had a smoke and a tea
the wind rose up, set him down on his kne[A]knees
[D]a wave came crashin' like a fist to the jaw
delivered him.. wings high, look at him n[A]now
[D]arms wide open with the sea as he's flung
oh how...ohhhh...[A]how...ohhhh...
Chorus:
he [G9]is flyin...oh[G9]hh.[G9]...hi[D]gh....whyy[D]y...[A].ohhhh.....
Verse 2:
[D]he floated back down cause he wanted to share
this key to the locks on the chains he s[A]saw everywhere...
[D]but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by a faceless man, the xxxxers
he [A]still stands...
[D]and he still gives his love, he just gives it away
the love he receives is the love t[A]that is saved
[D]and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky...
[A]
a human being that was given to fly
he [G9]is flyin.[G9]..o[G9]hhh..[D]..high....w[D]hyyy[A]....ohhhh.....
