[F#] [B] [F#] [B]
Climbing up on Saul's wheel, I could see the [G#m] city light
[F#] [G#m] Wind was blowing, time stayed [F#] still [G#m] Eagle flew [B] out of the night
Here was something to observe [F#] [B] Came in close, I heard [G#m] a [F#] voice
[G#m] Standing, stretching every [F#] nerve [G#m] Had to listen, had [E] no [F#] choice
[E] I did not believe the information [F#] I [E] just had to trust [G#m] imagination
[F#] [G#m] My heart go boom, boom, boom Son, [F#] he [G#m] said, [C#m] [B] grab your things
I'm [F#] coming to [E] take you home [B] Keep [E]

in silence, I resigned
My friends would think I [G#m] was a nut [F#] [G#m]
Turning water into wine
Open [D#m] doors would [B] soon be shut So I went from day to day
Though my life was in [G#m] a [F#] rut [G#m] Till I thought of what I'd said
Which connection I should [E] cut [F#] [E] I was feeling part of the scenery
[F#] I [E] walked right out of their machinery [G#m]
[F#] [G#m] My heart go boom, boom, boom
Son, [F#] he [G#m] said, [C#m] [B] grab your things I'm coming [E] to take you [B] home
When [E]

illusions spin the net I'm never where I [G#m] want to [F#] be
[G#m]
Liberty she'd be ruined [F#] [G#m] When I think that I [B] am free
Watched by a distant ruin Closed her eyes [G#m] but still can see
No one taught her how to let it get I was shown [E] ugly
[F#] [E] Today I don't need a replacement [E] I'll show them what the smile [G#m] on the face meant
[F#] [G#m] My heart go boom, boom, boom [F#] Son, he [C#] said, [B] grab your things
