Em D C Bm x5
C Bm
Em D C Bm
Had a pegasister back in school
Em D C Bm
Only filly flier for a mile or two
Em D C Bm
We was thick as thieves, two hairs in a tail
C Bm
Even got myself up to Cloudsdale
Em D C Bm
A flock friends flew me up, held tight
Em D C Bm
The bass and the liquor were pounding till the daylight
Em D C Bm
Drunk hit my brain, like a media crescendo
C Bm
Then they started chuckin' ponies out the window
C Bm Em G A
One by one were thrown off and flew back up doing tricks
C Bm Em G A
It happened fast, but somehow I got tossed off in the mix
C Bm Em G A
The ground came at me lightning quick. Got me crying, screaming and kinda sick
A
You were too drunk to notice, and too loud to listen, and I
Bm* C* Bm*
Guess my broken limb ain’t worth the fallin' distance
Em D C Bm
Well I, Guess I'll heal myself on the ground cuz
Em D C Bm
My lack of fringes just seems to slow you down
Em D C Bm
You called out "Sorry!” and “Glad you didn't bite it!"
C Bm
Well, glue your wings and jump and we'll see how you like it!
Em D C Bm
If there's a race in life you'd win
Em D C Bm
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you're in it
Em D C Bm
Can't flutter for nothin, but they still got a rise
C Bm*
I'd love to be flapping instead of just tapping, but that's just not happening.
Em D C Bm
I'll never be fly like you
Em D C Bm
Fly like you
Em D C Bm
Fly like you
C Bm
Em D C Bm
I was scratchin' an itch that I just couldn't find
Em D C Bm
And my little pegasister was there by my side
Em D C Bm
I asked "Honey, you got a wing you can spare?"
C Bm
Her feather flicked a fly and she just said, "Grow a pair."
Em D C Bm
I'd had enough and I spat too quick
Em D C Bm
"What'd your mama do to go and make you be so prickly"
Em D C Bm
I'd had enough of biting my lip she said
C Bm
"You and that bump clear your own clouds, skip."
C Bm Em G A
I said “Watch your back, cuz this bump could shoot you out the sky!”
C Bm Em G A
She smiled and said “Guess you were dropped on your head, but I see the reason why.”
C Bm Em G A
I kicked a bucket as she caught a breeze and I screamed "I'd bet you'd kill for one of these!"
C B
I trained my horn up to the sky like a weapon and I
Bm*
Sprayed a ray and prayed and cleared it up in about… two seconds
Em D C Bm
Well I, Can't keep up whatever I do
Em D C Bm
And I'm sorry my hooves and horn just bore you
Em D C Bm
You can clear the sky in 10 seconds flat?
C Bm
Well I can beat your time by 8 so… how 'bout that?
Em D C Bm
If there was a race in life you'd win
Em D C Bm
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you're in it
Em D C Bm
Flutter above me but you'll never get a rise
C Bm
Even come at me with somethin' real snappy,
Bm*
I'll still be happy never bein' fly like you
F D C Bm x3
C Bm Em G A
I've been told to turn the other cheek and rise above it
C Bm Em G A
The weather is perfect so all expect worship but I think they can shove it!
C Bm Em G A
I bite my tongue, choke, swallow and smile when I’m around her
C B
But it’s tough to get manic, 'bout the aerodynamic when there's
C B
All these wiseguy pegasii flyin' by screamin'
N.C.
"Suck it grounder!"
F# E D C#
Can't keep up, whatever, I tried
F# E D C#
And I'll never crack your clique cuz I don't go Mach V
F# E D C#
Countin' down the days till you crash and witness
Bm C#
How gravity makes the rest of us it's dirty little mistress.
F# E D C#
If there was a race in life you'd win
F# E D C#
I'll be here below the stratosphere as long as you're in it
F# E D C#
Go and take your picture, it's the last time I'll be by
Bm C#
Flexing your wings's all you do, it's depressing
Bm*
Oh and watch where you're flyin', I hear when you splat it gets real nasty
Bm C#
To hell with your flapping, all your wings will need wrapping
Bm C#
While we all die happy
F# E D C# x2
Never bein' fly
F# E D C#
like you
F# E D C# F#
Never being fly like you
