Verse 1:
G
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


G
a 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...

Chorus:

   C9   Mute   C9 C9   G -repeat-    G   D
he is flyin...ohhh....high....whyyy....ohhhh.....

Verse 2:
G
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 xxxxers
   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...
                                        D

a human being that was given to fly

   C9   mute   C9 C9   G -repeat-    G   D
he is flyin...ohhh....high....whyyy....ohhhh.....
