A                  Asus4     A    D   A      E
This is the one in which I miraculously pulled out

F#m                       D                   A                   
Of a free-fall dive over Fergus Falls, Minnesota

A                            Asus4       A        D    A     E
And this is the one like ten years ago that I told you about

         F#m               D                    A
Where my wings iced up in the fall, as it gets colder


[Verse 2]
          A                         D          A           E
I was concealing his kid, under his crew neck state school sweatshirt
        F#m                             D                   A                   
While he grinned off in the distance, behind prescription shades
          A                            Asus4     A      D       A             E
They were blocking out the clouded out sun while he was hoping against a daughter
    F#m                         D                    A
And no one saw my banners, my bruises, my flares, my flags


[Chorus]
D                                 E
I could have been an artist, if I had the tools

D                                E
I could have been a preacher, if I suffered fools

D                                    F#m              D
When move into the city, I know I'll have to pay my dues

A                      E              D
And my respects to his sister and his mother too



[Verse 3]
A                  Asus4     A    D   A      E
This is the one in which I miraculously pulled out

F#m                       D                   A                   
Of a free-fall dive over Fergus Falls, Minnesota

A                            Asus4       A        D    A     E
And this is the one like ten years ago that I told you about

         F#m               D                    A
Where my wings iced up in the fall, as it gets colder (x2)
