( 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
