DAm
Another day has passed
DGEmA
In this love affair that we swear now will never last
DGEmA
Another night is here
DGEmA
And you will kiss me darkly, I will hold you close my dear
DGAm
But how many dreams can I
DGEmA
Unravel in the morning before I have to face you
DGAm
How many seams can I
DGEmA
Destroy by tearing off your underwear as if I chase you
(Chorus)
GAGAG
When all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
GAGA
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
GAB7
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
DGEADGEADGAm
Here comes Hot Johnny again
DGEmA
That boy could ride the lightning and then go home to eat again
DGAm
He's everything I'll never be
DGEmA
He's got the feathered hair and a lot of things the ladies see
DGAm
Got him an albatross love
DGEmA
She's wraps those wings around you ten feet long of doubted love
DGEmA
And holdin' on so God damned tight
DGEmA
She makes a man make plans she makes him fly away at night
(Chorus)
GAGAG
And all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
GAGA
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
GAB7
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
(Musical Interlude)
DGEADGEADGEADGEADGAm
How many teardrops can I
DGEmA
Pretend to shed on each occasion that a man's supposed to
DGAm
How many innocent die
DGEmA
Before we both admit we never care unless we're close to
DGAm
How many wishes are left
DGEmA
Before we both admit it isn't getting better
DGAm
How many dishes are left
DGEmA
Before you call it quits and cease to be the willing wedder
(Chorus)
GAGAG
When all my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
GAGA
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
GAB7G
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me this time?
GAGAG
All my life, I have heard you should only be a bird
GAGA
Now you're more than I deserve so I'll be leaving
GAB7
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
