Everybody wants to fly, _ [E] everybody wants to fly.
[Em] _ You're on the swing, _ [E] _ [F#m] I [G#m] got sticks on [A] each arm,

_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's all men with a chance to fly,
men with good and clean comforts.
It's time to give a people, people a little peace.
Take away, take away, take away, inside the mirror.
Give away, give away, give away, all the souvenirs. _
[A] We're all in the same boat, [Em] ready to float.
It's a carnival, [E] _ [D] a battleground.
[Em] _ [F#m] _
_ _ [G#m] It's time to show [A] from the man that [B] you are.
_ [E] Life _ _ _ is a carnival, _ it's in the [A] book.
