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