Clear Skies
View chords used in this chart
( Am Bm11/A )
High on the bell tower
I took my view
Over the downtowns
On the avenues
( Am Bm11/A )
Where the streets are wide
And the people thrive
And it's further to fall down
Cause you fly so high
( Am Bm11/A )
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
F7M Am G
And I wish that I could be
F7M
Everything you are
Am G
Everything you are
( Am Bm11/A )
Down in the delta
The city wakes
Turns on the TV
As the levy breaks
( Am Bm11/A )
Where the streets are burned
From the hot summer sun
And there's nowhere to run to
When your time has come
( Am Bm11/A )
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
( Am Bm11/A )
Loop the loops up piece by piece
All that flashing all over me
Took my pills and went to sleep
Oh, and I sang myself to sleep
F7M Am G
And I wish that I could be
F7M
Everything you are
Am G
Everything you are
F7M Am G
And I wish that I could see
F7M
The world the way you do
Am G
As selfishly as you
Oooh
(solo 12x) Am Bm11/A
F7M Am G
And I wish that I could be
F7M
Everything you are
Am G
Everything you are
F7M G
And I wish that I could stick
F7M
My faith the way you do
Am G
As certainly as you
F7M Am G
Clear skies going to fall on you
F7M Am G
Clear skies going to fall on you
F7M Am G
Clear skies going to fall on you
F7M Am G
On you, on you.
F7M Am G
Clear skies going to fall on you
F7M Am G
Clear skies
