[Intro] G  Em
   
G                  
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Em
Stretched to the point of no turning back
G                     
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Em
Standing alone my senses reeled
G
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Em                     
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
 
C                           Am
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Solo] G  Em

G                  
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Em
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
G                  
No navigator to find my way home
Em
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
 
C                       Am               
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
F                       C
Condition grounded but determined to try
                            Am           
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Solo] Am  D
 
G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
Em
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
G
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em
Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Em
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
 
C                        Am                 
There's no sensation to compare with this
   F                   C
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
                            Am          
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
F                               C           D       G
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
