Intro: Dm C G G
Dm Am C G
When eight turns sideways
Dm C G
You head on down the highway
Dm Am C G
Say this is my way,
Am G
disappearing forever
Dm Am C G
But there ain't just one way
Dm C G
So you choose the fun way
Dm Am C G
Slide down the runway
Am G
On a ticket that goes two ways
C Bb
And by the way that it sounded
C G
You thought that you'd be astounded
C D
But you left it like you found it
C G (Intro)
Cause it wasn't yours to take
Dm Am C G
What once seemed like dyin'
Dm C G
Soon turned into flyin'
Dm Am C G
So you settle for tryin'
Am G
And you wish you were grounded
C Bb
No you cannot get much higher
C G
Than your utmost desire
C D
So you bring it down to size it
C G
| | /pause/
Now it seems that you are grounded
G C Dm
Grounded
G C Dm
Grounded
G C Dm
Grounded
G C Dm
Grounded
