Gm9 Flying high in the friendly sky, Flying high, without ever leavin' the ground. And I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby, Nobody really understands, no no.
Gm9Dm9 And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me; Self-destruction in my hand. Gm9Am9 Oh Lord, so stupid minded, Cm9Gm9 Oh, but I go crazy, when I can't find it.

C7sus4C7 Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend, Fmaj7Bbmaj7Am9 To the boy, who makes slaves out of men. Gm9 And oh, believe me...
