[C#m]
I'm tired of chasing [F#]
vapor trail ghost [B] letters in [E] the sky
[B] [C#m] Living life in daydreams watching [B] precious [E] time get [B]
by
[E] Circling round this [B]
great big world [A#] just [C#m] chasing smoke [G#m] and [B]
never touching [C#] ground
[B]
[C#] Like [F#] a sky [G#]
[F#] rider
[C#] Rebel without a cause
[A#m] Drifting without [D#m] a name
[C#] [F#] [G#] But [F#] I [A#m] can't seem [F#] to [C#] give up [F#] this flying [C] game
[D] I'm [G] a wing [D] [Bm] [G] walker
Working [Bm] [D] without an [A] edge
[Bm]
That's all I've [Em] ever been
[D]
[G] [A] And [G] I wonder if [D] I'm ever [G] [A] coming down [D] again
Some [G#] people [E] say [F#] I'm losing touch with [B] harsh [E] reality
[C#m] Because I can't accept the way [B] it is [F#] with [B] you and me
[E] Stop living in [B] the past
Like [D#m] some [C#m] old pilot from [B] a war that wouldn't [C#] end
[B]
[C#] Like [F#] a barn [C] [F#]
stormer
Safe with my [C#] wires and [G#] wings
[A#m] How could [D#m] I ever [D#] fall?
[C#] [F#] [G#]
[F#] So [A#m] [C#] serenely do I glide [F#] above [C] it all
[D] I'm [G] a sky [D] [A] [Bm] rider
[G]
I can't [D] forget you yet
[Bm] For whatever [Em] that is worth
[D]
[G] [A] And [Bm] sometimes I think [D] I'm never [G] coming [D]
[A] back
[Bm] I
[G] [A]
[E] [F#m] [D]
[G] [A] [B]
[C#] can't [B]
[F#] forget you yet
[D#m] For whatever [G#m] that is [F#] worth
[B]
[C#] And [D#m] sometimes I [B] think [F#] I'm [B] never coming [F#] [C#] back [F#] to earth
[C] [F#] [C#]
[A#m] [D#m]
