[C#] [C#m]
I'm tired of chasing [F#]
raper trails and ghost [B] letters in [E] the sky
[B] [C#m] Living life in daydreams, watching [B] precious [E] time [B] get by
[E] Circling round this [B]
great big world, [C#m] just chasing smoke [G#m] [B] and never touching [C#] ground
[B]
[C#] I'm [F#] a [G#]
[F#] skydiver, rebel [C#] without a [G#] cause, [A#m] drifting [D#m] without a name
[C#] [F#] [G#] But [F#] I [A#m] can't seem [F#] to [C#] give up this [F#]
[C] flying [D] game
[G] I'm a
[D] [Bm] wingwalker, [G]
[Bm] working [A] without a net, [Bm] that's all I've [Em] ever been
[D]
[G] [A] And I [G] wonder [D] if I'll ever [G] come [A]
into town [D] again
Some [G#] people [E] say [F#] I'm in too much with [B] harsh [E] reality
[C#m] Cause I can't accept the way [B] it is with you and me
[E] Stop living [F#] in the [B]
past like some [C#m] old pilot from [B] a war that wouldn't [C#] end
[B]
[C#] Like [F#] a [F#]
lonesomer, safe with my [C#] wires and wings, [G#] [A#m] how could [D#m] I ever [D#] fall?
[C#] [F#] [G#]
[F#] So [A#m] serenely [C#] do I climb [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'll never [G] [D] come in [A] past
[Bm]
[G] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[D] [G] [A] [B]

forget [F#] you yet, [D#m] for whatever [G#m] that is [F#] worth
[B] And [C#] [B] sometimes I think [F#] I'll never [B] come [C#]
[F#] to earth
