Intro: G Em

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

C                           Am
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        C           D     G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I

G Em

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

C                           Am
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        C           D     G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I

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

C                           Am
Canʼt keep my eyes from the circling skies
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
        C           D     G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
