1 2 & & 4 &
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] I can't stand to [G] fly
[Am] I'm not that na- [F] ive
[C] I'm just out to [G] find
[Am] The better part of [F] me
Chorus
I'm more than a [C] bird, I'm more than a [G] plane
I'm more than some [Am] pretty face be- [F] side a train
And it's not [C] easy to [1/2G] be [F] me [C]
[C] Wish that I could [G] cry
[Am] Fall upon my [F] knees
[C] Find a way to [G] lie
About a [Am] home I'll never [F] see
Chorus
It may sound ab- [C] surd but don't be na- [G] ive
Even [Am] heroes have the [F] right to bleed
I may be dis- [C] turbed but won't you con- [G] cede
Even [Am] heroes have the [F] right to dream?
And it's not [C] easy to [1/2G] be [F] me | [C] [G] |
Bridge
| [Am] Up, up [G] and a- | [C] way a- [Dm] way from | [Am] me
Well it's all | [D] right
You can | [C] all sleep sound to- | [D] night
I'm not | [F] crazy | ...or any- | [G] thing |
[C] I can't stand to [G] fly
[Am] I'm not that na- [F] ive
[C] Men weren't meant to [G] ride
With [Am] clouds between their [F] knees
Chorus
I'm only a [C] man in a silly red [G] sheet
Digging for [Am] kryptonite on this [F] one way street
Only a [C] man in a funny red [G] sheet
Looking for [Am] special things in- [F] side of me
Inside of [C] me... [G]
Inside of [Am] me... [F]
Inside of [C] me... [G]
Inside of [Am] me... [F]
I'm only a [C] man in a funny red [G] sheet
I'm only a [Am] man looking for a [F] dream
I'm only a [C] man in a funny red [G] sheet
And it's not [Am] easy, | [C↓] [G↓] [F↓]
[nc] It's not easy to be [C] me [G] [Am] [F] [C↓]
