Tom: Am
C
I saw your shoes behind the line,
E7
I've seen your face a hundred times,
F
But now only in my mind,
Fm
the rest of you is left behind.
C
You lay there passed out on the couch
E7
Words falling from your mouth.
F
Maybe you liked to drink too much
Fm
I could see you losing touch
[Chorus]
C E7
Please don't float too high,
F
The sun will burn your wings
Fm
and you are everything.
C E7
Please just run away,
F
the headlights they will catch you,
Fm
Your mother she will miss you.
[Verse 2]
C
So we all waited in a room
E7
Flicked a switch and watched the news
F
Waiting for a sign of you
Fm
Breathing was impossible to do
C
So we all waited for the call
E7
And wondered if you’re there at all
F
But no one’s lips knew what to say
Fm
Hoping that you won’t fly away
[Chorus]
C E7
Please don't float too high,
F
The sun will burn your wings
Fm
and you are everything.
C E7
Please just run away,
F
the headlights they will catch you,
Fm
Your mother she will miss you.
[Outro]
(strum once:)
C E7
Please don't float too high,
F
The sun will burn your wings
Fm
and you are everything.
C E7
Please just run away,
F
the headlights they will catch you,
Fm
Your mother she will miss you.
