Off The Ground

Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 D Asus2 G6 Now the old man was a farmer, Asus2 G6 But his head was in the sky. Asus2 G6 He worked everyday but Sunday, D 'Till the day he died. Asus2 G6 He'd search for rain and thunder, Asus2 G6 And listen for that sound. Asus2 G6 And in the dry years he went under, D And never got off the ground, never got off the ground. Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 D Asus2 G6 Now we all say when we're younger, Asus2 G6 That we will do great things. Asus2 G6 Me I used to have a hunger, D To wear a pilots wings. Asus2 G6 But the circles that I ran in, Asus2 G6 Kinda' turned my head around. Asus2 G6 And the planes I had my plans in, D Never got off the ground, never got off the ground. F D Don't raise your hopes, I hear so many say, F C The higher they get, the closer they are, F#m G D To fly..ing away, F#m G D Fly..ing away. Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 D Asus2 G6 We all say thay are but for fortune, Asus2 G6 Is the way it should have been. Asus2 G6 If we could take a bigger portion, D We'd fill our hands again. Asus2 G6 Now you see us on the sidewalks, Asus2 G6 And in the parks all over town. Asus2 G6 We're the people who've taken flight, D And never got off the ground, never got off the ground. F D Don't raise your hopes, I hear so many say, F C The higher they get, he closer they are, F#m G D To fly..ing away, F#m G D Fly..ing away. Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 Asus2 G6 D G6 G6 D
