Intro: G  Em  G  Em 


G 
You and I've got our backs against the wall  
Em 
If we stay down, we won't have far to fall  
G 
But it's no fun relying on defenses  
Em 
We get our kicks swinging for the fence  


           C 
And I said yes  
         G                    C 
I wanna fly my airplane tonight  
         G                    C 
It's so hard down here to unwind  
         G                         C     G 
I ain't lost, but you can't find me  
                    Em 
When I said you're strange  
C           D              G 
It was a compliment  you know  


Em  G  Em 


G 
Spend most of my time lost at the races  
Em 
Now we get by making funny faces  
G 
Some people live trying to be forgiven  
Em 
That might be life, oh but that ain't livin'  


       C 
I said yes 
         G                    C 
I wanna fly my airplane tonight  
         G                    C 
It's so hard down here to unwind  
         G                         C 
I ain't lost, but you can't find me 


C  Em  C  Em  C 


Em 
And though I see you in the mirror 
                                   G 
I'm certain we will disappear some day 
Em 
Maybe the wave that brought us here 
                                  G 
Will be the same that washes us away 


     Em 
The pilot don't know how to stop 
                                             G 
Trying to lose these thoughts that bring me down 
   Em 
Forget the lessons we were taught 
                                          G 
That have tamed us and pinned us to the ground 


  C         Em    D 
La-ooooooo oooo  oooo 

G  Em  G  Em 

G 
You and I have got our backs against the wall 
Am               C 
We don't move, no one throws you the ball 
G 
Life a dance between riding the bench 
Em                              Am            Em 
And waiting for your chance to swing for the fence 


        C 
I said yes 
         G                 C 
I wanna fly my airplane tonight  
         G                   C 
It's so hard down here to unwind  
         G     C 
I ain't lost, come and find me 
G                      
When I said you're strange 
C                         G 
It was a compliment you know
