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