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