[Intro]
G  A/G  G  Gmaj7  Em7  D
[Strophe]
G              A/G   G         Gmaj7 
Into the distance, a ribbon of black 
Em7                                       D 
Stretched to the point of no turning back 
G              A/G     G         Gmaj7 
A flight of fancy on a windswept field 
Em7                              D 
Standing alone my senses reeled 
G                A/G  G           Gmaj7 
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how 
Em7                                    D 
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
[Refrain]
C                  Em/B        Am         G 
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky 
F                               C           D 
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
[Pont]
G  A/G  G  Gmaj7
[Strophe]
G          A/G        G          Gmaj7 
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings 
Em7                                         D 
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything 
G          A/G  G              Gmaj7 
No navigator to guide my way home 
Em7                                  D 
Unladened, empty and turned to stone.
[Refrain]
C              Em/B      Am               G 
A soul in tension that's learning to fly 
F                           C 
Condition grounded but determined to try 
                   Em/B        Am           G 
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies 
F                               C           D 
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
[Pont]
F  Am7  D9  D
[Strophe]
G 
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, 
Em7 
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, 
G 
Across 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
[Refrain]
C                 Em/B  Am                 G 
There's no sensation to compare with this 
   F                   C 
Suspended animation, a state of bliss 
                   Em/B        Am          G 
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies 
F                               C           D 
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
