Intro
E B G#m F# 2x
[Verse]
E B G#m F#
I've been skimming the paper, I've been scrolling around
E B G#m F#
I've been trying to get up, but something's holding me down
E B G#m F#
I've been shutting my eyes but getting no rest, no
E B G#m F#
I've been trying to leave but can't get out of this nest
[Pre Chorus]
E B
I left the stove on yesterday, and I
G#m F#
Put on a coat in the middle of May, and I
E B G#m F# E
Wonder how many birds would it ta-a-ake to carry me away?
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Verse]
E B G#m F#
I've been taking days off so I can do work
E B G#m F#
I've been trying to smile but all I get is a smirk
E B G#m F#
And I'm starting to see the day made way for the night
E B G#m F#
I'm not scared of the ocean but I'm stuck in the tide
[Pre Chorus]
E B
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
G#m F#
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
E B G#m F# E
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Bridge]
C#m G#m
I used to feel well
F#
I used to be okay
Now I'm a man inside another metal cage
C#m G#m
But I can hear them call
F#
They're never far away
Can you hear them?
C#m G#m
I used to sleep at night
F#
But now I lie awake
Dreaming up the perfect plan for my escape
C#m G#m
But I can hear them call
F#
To carry me away
[Chorus 2]
E
To carry me away
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
E
To carry me away
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
[Pre Chorus]
E B
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
G#m F#
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
E B G#m F# E
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?
[Chorus]
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
E
To carry me away
B G#m F# E B G#m F#
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
