[Verse]
G               G/F# 
He could've tuned in, tuned in 
        Em/D  Gsus2 
But he tuned out 
 G     G/F#    Em/D   Gsus2      D 
A bad time, nothing could save him 
G          G/F#      Em/D      Gsus2 
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out 
     G       G/F#           Em/D    Gsus2   D 
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles 
    G             G/F#       Em/D      Gsus2 
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree 
G          G/F#      Em/D    Gsus2     D 
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
[Pre-Chorus]
   G 
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw 
                                       D 
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now!" 
 G 
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor 
           D 
Oh, power, oh
[Chorus]
 C 
He's.. flying 
 C  C/B A5   G 
Who__________le 
 C           C/B A5   G 
High.. wide, Oh      Oh
[Verse]
    G           G/F#        Em/D    Gsus2 
He floated back down cause he wanted to share 
     G          G/F#         Em/D     Gsus2   D 
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere 
     G             G/F#      Em/D     Gsus2 
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed 
G          G/F#        Em/D 
By faceless men, well, fuckers 
Gsus2      D 
He still stands
[Pre-Chorus]
    G 
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away 
     G                                    D 
The love he receives is the love that is saved 
     G 
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky 
                                 D 
A human being that was given to fly
[Chorus]
 C 
He's.. flying 
 C  C/B A5   G 
Who__________le 
 C           C/B A5   G 
High.. wide, Oh      Oh
