[Intro]
Am F Am F Am G/B C G Am F C G

[Verse 1]
C
Nod when you're ready
               G
and I will let go
Am      C                G
I have never felt this alive
before
F           C
Remember to bend your
                G
knees before we land
Am               C
And whatever you do,
                   G
don't let go of my hand

[Chorus]
    Am C/G C
And if I go flying,
   G            Am
it will be with you
          F        C
Or I will never go flying
            G
I will stay down
G
I will stay down

[Verse 2]
C
Before I was yours,
                  G
I belonged to the Earth
Am            C
But up in the ether,
                  G
I can see all its worth
F                     C
And all things either good or
                  G
bad or nothing at all
Am                   C
And our house down below
                   G
what a wild way to fall!

[Chorus]
    Am C/G C
And if I go flying,
   G            Am
it will be with you
          F        C
Or I will never go flying
            G
I will stay down
G
I will stay down

[Solo]
F Am F Am F Am F Am G

[Verse 3]
C
And with our paper wings
                 G
folded up in our van
Am         C
It was up here
                  G
I found out who I am
F                     C
But if you should forsake me,
                 G
then I will stay here
Am           C
Bound by the Earth, and bound
      G
by my tears (by my tears!)

[Chorus]
    Am C/G C
And if I go flying,
   G            Am
it will be with you
          F        C
Or I will never go flying
            G
I will stay down
            Am C/G C
Darlin' and if I go flying,
   G            Am
it will be with you
         F        C
Or I will never go flying
           G
I will stay down
G
I will stay down!
