DAE
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
DAE
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
GAE
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
GF#mB
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above.
CHORUS:
Am7GDA
And I looked high - and saw the empty sky.
Am7GDA
If I could only, I could only fly.
GD/F#A/EA
I'd drift with them in endless space.
GD/F#E
But no man flies from this place.
DAE
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.
DAE
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.
GAE
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
GF#mB
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.
DAE
Hey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.
DAE
Some luck I ever got with you and I - wouldn't like to bet -
GAE
that sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.
GF#mB
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man.
DD/AAEDAE
Just send up my love. Ain't seen nothing but tears.
DAEDAE
Now I've got myself - in this room for years.
DAEDAE
Don't see no one one, Never see anyone
DAEE
Yeah we're high, yeah
