Hello, YouTube friends and supporters.
Eight years ago, my sweet sister Monica Spontarelli passed away after a brave battle with a brain tumor.
She was only 44 years old.
Monica was a smart, funny, kind, and beautiful person, as is her daughter, Allison.
This song was Monica's favorite cover of mine, and I haven't performed or even listened to
it since she passed.
I'm posting this on Allison's 20th birthday, so happy birthday, Allison.
I [D]
[Am]
[Dm] [C]
[D] [G] [Am]
[Dm] [F] [C]
can't stand [D] to fly, [G] I'm [Am]
not that naive.
[Dm] [F] [C] I'm just out [G] to find the [Am] better part of [Dm] me.
I'm more [C] than a bird, I'm more [G] than a plane.
I'm more [Am] than some pretty face [F] beside a train.
And it's [C] not easy [G] to be [F] me.
[C] I wish that I [E] could cry, [G] [Am] fall upon my [Dm] knees, [Am] find a [D] way to lie.
[Am] About a home I'll [A] never [F] see.
It may sound [C] absurd, but [G] don't be naive.
Even [Am] heroes have [F] the right to flee.
I [C] may be disturbed, but [G] won't you concede?
[Em] Even [Am] heroes have [F] the right to dream.
And [C] it's not easy to [E] be [F] me.
[C]
[Em] [Am] [Em] Up, up and [Dm] away, away [Am] from me.
Well, it's alright, you [C] can all sleep sound [D]
tonight.
[E] I'm not [F] crazy or [G] anything.
[C]
I can't stand [E] to fly, [G] [Am]
I'm not that [F] naive.
[C]
And weren't meant [D] to ride [Am] with clouds between [F] their knees.
I'm only [C] a man in a silly [Em] red sheet.
[Am] Digging for kryptonite [F] on this one-way street.
Only [C] a man in a funny [G] red sheet.
Looking [Am] for special things [F] inside of me.
[C] Inside of me.
[G] Inside [Am] of me.
[F] Inside [C] of me.
[E] [Am] Inside of me.
I'm only a [C]
man in a funny [G] red sheet.
I'm only [Am] a man looking for a dream.
I'm only a man in a funny [G] red sheet.
And it's [Am] not easy.
[F]
It's not easy to be [C] me.
