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 xxxxxxx 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.....
