D F G I fell into a winter slide D F G And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow D F A Just eking out my measly pies. G D A D But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I G D F A Know there is this side of me that G D A D Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just G D F A Fly the whole mess into the sea. D F G Another slow train to the coast D F G Some brand new gory art from way on high D F A I sink and then I swim all night. D F G I watch the ice melt on the glass D F G While the eloquent young pilgrims pass D F A And leave behind their trail, imploring us not to fail. G D A D Of course I was raised to gather courage from those G D F A Lofty tales so tried and true and G D A D If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this G D F A Modern thought can get the best of you. D Bm This rather simple epitaph G A G A can save your hide your falling mind D Bm Fate isn't what we're up against G A G A there's no design no flaws to find G A G A There's no design no flaws to find. Solo: D F G D F G D F A G D A D But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I G D F A Know I got this side of me that G D A D Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just G D F A Fly the whole mess into the sea.
