[VERSE 1]
E G D A
He wakes with the glow of adventure and hope
E G D A E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
The morning smells sweet and replete with opportunity
E G D A
He dressed into another, day feeling lucky to be alive
E G D A E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
Though nobody follows him, he's sure the future's bright
[CHORUS]
E G
Bring him back
D A
Someone's going to have to bring him back to earth
E G
He's getting out of hand
D A
His alacrity for life is more than people stand
E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D A E G A7
Bring him back to earth

[VERSE 2]
E G D A
Discipline and toil, well it made her blood boil
E G D A E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
The finer things were impatient, waiting discovery
E G D A
Like a bird in spring, the sun made her sing
E G D A E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
With seeming inattention, she was onto other things
[CHORUS]
E G
Bring her back
D A
Someone's going to have to bring her back to earth
E G
She's way too high
D A
Her alacrity for life ain't going to help her get by
E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D A E G A7 E G A7
Bring her back to earth
[BRIDGE]
E G A7 E G A7
Whooooo's it going to be?
E G A7
I can assure you
E G F#m F G A Asus4 A
It ain't gonna be me
[CHORUS]
E G
Bring them back
D A
Someone's gonna try and bring them back to land
E G
And I'll be there
D A
To catch them when they fall and send them up again
E Cmaj7 E Cmaj7
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D A E G
Bring them back to earth
D A E G A7 E
Bring them back to earth
