Intro: A 4x A D G  4x 

verse 1 
 A                            D 
   She knew she was able to fly, 
 G                        A 
  Because when she came down, 
 A                                 D 
She had dust on her hands from the sky. 
G                   A 
she said I touched a cloud 
 A            D       G              A    D  G 
She felt so high, the dust made her cry. 

verse 2 
 A                                 D 
  She knew she could fly like a bird, 
 G                    A                                     D  
  But when she said 'please raise the roof higher' nobody heard 
 G                      A 
They never noticed a word. 
 A                D    G                    A   D   G 
The light bulbs burn, her fingers will learn. 
 
 A  G  D 
Aaah aaah 
 A  G  D 
Aaah aaah 

verse 3 
 A                               D 
   Why should it feel like a crime, 
 G                A                  D 
  If I want to be with you all the time? 
 G                       A 
Why is it measured in hours? 
 A                       D 
We should make our own time. 
 G                 A     D   G 
You're welcome in mine.

 A                                 D     G                   A 
She had dust from her hands on the sky, she said I touched a cloud 
 A                 D    G                A    D   G 
Her fingers will learn, the lightbulbs burn
