Tom: A
D A F#m E 2x
[Verse]
D A F#m E
I've been skimming the paper, I've been scrolling around
D A F#m E
I've been trying to get up, but something's holding me down
D A F#m E
I've been shutting my eyes but getting no rest, no
D A F#m E
I've been trying to leave but can't get out of this nest
[Pre Chorus]
D A
I left the stove on yesterday, and I
F#m E
Put on a coat in the middle of May, and I
D A F#m E D
Wonder how many birds would it ta-a-ake to carry me away?
[Chorus]
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Verse]
D A F#m E
I've been taking days off so I can do work
D A F#m E
I've been trying to smile but all I get is a smirk
D A F#m E
And I'm starting to see the day made way for the night
D A F#m E
I'm not scared of the ocean but I'm stuck in the tide
[Pre Chorus]
D A
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
F#m E
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
D A F#m E D
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?
[Chorus]
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
I used to feel well
E
I used to be okay
Now I'm a man inside another metal cage
Bm F#m
But I can hear them call
E
They're never far away
Can you hear them?
Bm F#m
I used to sleep at night
E
But now I lie awake
Dreaming up the perfect plan for my escape
Bm F#m
But I can hear them call
E
To carry me away
[Chorus 2]
D
To carry me away
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
D
To carry me away
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Pre Chorus]
D A
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
F#m E
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
D A F#m E D
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?
[Chorus]
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
D
To carry me away
A F#m E D A F#m E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
