Nod when you're ready and I will let go
Am C G
I have never felt this alive before
F C G
Remember to bend your knees before we land

And whatever you do, don't let go of my hand

And if I go flying, it will be with you
F C G
Or I will never go flying... I will stay down

I will stay down

Before I was yours, I belonged to the Earth
Am C G
But up in the ether, I can see all its worth
F C G
And all things either good or bad or nothing at all
Am C G
And our house down below... what a wild way to fall!

And if I go flying, it will be with you
F C G
Or I will never go flying... I will stay down
G
I will stay down
C G
And with our paper wings folded up in our van
Am C G
It was up here I found out who I am
F C G
But if you should forsake me, then I will stay here
Am C G
Bound by the Earth, and bound by my tears (by my tears!)

And if I go flying, it will be with you

Or I will never go flying... I will stay down
Am G/B C G Am
Darlin' and if I go flying, it will be with you
F C G
Or I will never go flying... I will stay down
G
I will stay down!
