C* G*
He's got feathers in his pockets,
Em* D*
He finds them lying by the side of the road,
C* G*
Along the train tracks, by the water,
C* Em* D*
He thinks about the seed he has sown.
C* G*
He feels something tugging at him,
[Pre-Chorus]
Em*
That pulls him close and lets him go,
D*
He pulls it close, he lets it go.
C* G*
He pulls you close and he lets you go.
Em* D*
His body's growing heavy underneath this mortal load.
[Chorus]
N.C. C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher,
C G D
These old bones just want to fly tonight.
C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher,
C G D D
[Verse]
C G
She's got wings back behind her eyes,
Em D
Some days the colors catch them, lift her off of the earth.
C G
In the morning, before the mirror,
Em D
She wonders how much eggs are worth.
C G
She feels something, something breaking,
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
That pulls her close and lets her go,
D
She pulls it close, she lets it go.
C G
She pulls you close and she lets you go.
C Em D
Her lips are saying no, while her body is giving birth.
[Chorus]
N.C. C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher,
C G D
These old bones just want to fly tonight.
C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher,
C G D
These old bones are gonna to fly tonight.
[Outro]

Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher
C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher

Raise them higher, raise them higher
C Em
Raise them higher, raise them higher
D D
Raise them higher, raise them higher higher higher higher
