Intro: F# D#m

F#
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
D#m                                   C# F#
Stretched to the point of no turning back
  F#
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
D#m                        C# F#
Standing alone my senses reel
   F#
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
     D#m                               C# B
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

B                           G#m
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
E
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        B           C#     F#
Just an earth-bound misfit, I

F# D#m

F#
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
D#m                        C# F#
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
F#
No navigator to find my way home;
D#m                        C# F#
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
F#
A soul in tension thatʼs learning to fly
D#m                        C# F#
Condition grounded but determined to try

B                           G#m
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
E
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        B           C#     F#
Just an earth-bound misfit, I

F#
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
D#m                        C# F#
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
F#
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
D#m                        C# F#
Out of the corner of my watering eye
F#
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
D#m                        C# F#
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
F#
Thereʼs no sensation to compare with this
D#m                        C# F#
Suspended animation, a state of bliss

B                           G#m
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
E
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        B           C#     F#
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
