G              A/G   G          Gmaj7
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
   Em7                                    D
Stretched to the point of no turning back
G               A/G    G         Gmaj7
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
  Em7                           D
Standing alone my senses reeled
G               A/G   G          Gmaj7
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
 Em7                                  D
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

 C                   Em/B       Am        G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
 F                              C            D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[G  A/G  G  Gmaj7]

G          A/G        G          Gmaj7
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Em7                                         D
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
 G        A/G   G              Gmaj7
No navigator to find my way home
Em7                                D
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

C              Em/B      Am           G
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
 F                           C
Condition grounded but determined to try
                     Em/B       Am           G
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
 F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[F  Am7  D9  D]

G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
 Em7
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
G
Above the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em7
Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
 Em7
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

  C               Em/B  Am                G
There's no sensation to compare with this
 F                   C
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
               Em/B         Am         G
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
 F                               C           D
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
