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