{Verse}
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside
I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook
And I fish them from the sky
My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye
Eb Bb F Eb Bb F
I am floating away lost in a silent ballet
Eb Bb F Gm7
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Eb Bb F Eb Bb F
Awake to take in the view late nights and early parades
Eb Bb F Eb Bb F
Still photos and noisy arcades my darling we're both on the wing
Gm7 Eb Bb F
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere
Eb
Are you there
Bb
(Are you there)
F
(Are you there)
Eb
(Are you there)
Bb
Are you there
Gm7 F Cm Bb F
Or are you just a decoy dream in my head
Eb F Gm7 Bb Eb Bb F
Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone
