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