[Verse]
D 
  Into the distance a ribbon of black
Bm              
  Stretched to the point of no turning back
D
  A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Bm
  Standing alone my senses reeled
D
  A fatal attraction is holding me fast how
Bm
  How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
G                              Em
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
   C                              G            A      D
  Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I

[Verse]
D
  Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Bm
  Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
D
  No navigator to find my way home
Bm
  Unladened, empty and turned to stone
G                           Em
  A soul in tension that's learning to fly
C                           G 
  Condition grounded but determined to try
G                              Em
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
C                                 G            A      D
  Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Verse]
D
  Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
Bm
  My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air,
D
  Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Bm
  Out of the corner of my watering eye
G                              Em
  A dream unthreatened by the morning light
C                                         G
  Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
G                              Em
  Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
C                                 G            A      D
  Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
