Intro:  |  E  |  E  D/E  |  E  |  E  D/E  |

D                   A       EI'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
D                       A               EThose bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
G            A                    EEveryday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
G                 F#m                 BMake me wish that I had wings take me high above.

CHORUS:
Am7           G    D                    AAnd I looked high  -  and saw the empty sky.
Am7        G     D              AIf I could only,   I could only fly.
G              D/F#             A/E     AI'd drift with them in endless space.
G          D/F#             EBut no man flies from this place.

   D            A                EAt night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.
    D                    A               EThe cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.
   G            A                EIf only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
    G                  F#m      BI'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.

{Repeat Chorus}

D               A             EHey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.
D                A                   ESome luck I ever got with you and I  -  wouldn't like to bet -
G                           A            Ethat sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.
   G            F#m         BBy shining your eyes on the wealth of every man.

D   D/A       A     E      D   A          E    Just send up my love.     Ain't seen nothing but tears.
D   A         E           D   A       E    Now I've got myself   -   in this room for years.
D   A         E          D A         E    Don't see no one one,  Never see anyone
D   A          E           D   A       E    Yeah we're high, yeah
