Verse 1:
Gm        Bb          Dm        F
You once were, oh so close, but I don't remember
Gm         Bb               Dm        F
Where you are, and who you know, but come this September
Gm        Bb           Dm          F
You will fly, on your own, 'cause you got a letter
Gm        Bb              Dm           F
You must find, find your home, and it won't get much better
 
Chorus:
Eb
I try so hard
Bb            F
To fly but my heart
F
Won't go very far
F
No, no
       Gm
And my own, two, hands
           Eb
Will start bleeding again
        Bb
And the floor, will, turn, to
F
To, a, Hole In The Ground
 
Verse 2:
Gm
The plans that I make, roads that I take
Bb
Break to holes that will go where I don't know
Dm
They are solid ground illusions
F
That write themselves off as perfectly normal solutions
Gm
Pollution's in my eyes, my disguise
Bb
Will take me, break me, won't save me this time
Dm
There's a vision, but you won't save me this time
F
My decision for livin' isn't mine to decide and
Gm        Bb
You just seem, oh so far
Dm
past the stars and past my heart
F
I can almost feel you and I start
Gm           Bb
To close my eyes and sing a song
Dm
I'll keep singing 'cause I'm wrong,
F
But you were singing with me all along
 
Chorus:
Eb
I try so hard
Bb            F
To fly but my heart
F
Won't go very far
F
No, no
       Gm
And my own, two, hands
           Eb
Will start bleeding again
        Bb
And the floor, will, turn, to
F
To, a, Hole In The Ground
 
Outro:
Bb                 F
Do not be alarmed, If I fall into the sun...
Gm    Bb
If I fall!
Gm
My own, two, hands,
           Eb
Will start bleeding, and, then
          Bb
They will lower, me, in, to
F
To, a, Hole In The Ground
