Intro: G  A  G  G7M  Em7  D
G              A   G         G7M
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Em7                                       D
Stretched to the point of no turning back
G              A     G         G7M
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Em7                              D
Standing alone my senses reeled
G                A  G           G7M
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Em7                                    D
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
C                  Em        Am         G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
( 
G  A  G  G7M )
G          A        G          G7M
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Em7                                         D
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
G          A  G              G7M
No navigator to find my way home
Em7                                  D
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
C              Em      Am               G
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
F                           C
Condition grounded but determined to try
                   
Em        Am           G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
( 
F  Am7  D  D )
G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
Em7
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
G
Above the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em7
Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Em7
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
C                 Em  Am                 G
There's no sensation to compare with this
   
F                   C
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
                   
Em        Am          G
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
