Intro: G
 
G
With my head high in the clouds,
G
I can barely see the human crowd,
G
Down at my feet,
C G
Running around in every street
 
G
While Im high up there,
G
I can finally take some air,
G G/B
Cause down
C G
I see cons under the sheets
 
G D G C
And I wonder, where is the line
D
That separates wrong from right,
G C D
Cause my feet are steady on the ground,
G
but my head high in the clouds
 
G
Even here, I can feel their fight,
G
Searching for grace and a place to hide
G G/B
from more command,
C G
Cause another will make them bend
 
G
From this height, I can take a step down,
G
And I see weve built this crazy town
G G/B
Goals rising high
C
Oooh
C G
Like towers in the sky
 
G D G C
And I wonder, where is the line
D
That separates wrong from right,
G C
Cause my feet are steady on the ground,
D
But Im scared that they get drowned
F
by the world tearing me apart,
 
Tussenspel
G G G G C D
 
G
Ive stared many times,
 
High at the sky,
 
Longing for an answer,
 
Or a clue flying by
D G
Cause o, Im stuck here on the ground
 
G
Ive stared many times,
 
High at the sky,
 
Longing for an answer,
 
Or a clue flying by
G G/B
Cause o, Im stuck here on the ground
