[Verso 1]


        G    D  E           A          A7sus4 
Well, I wake up late in the afternoon. 
A G   D  E             A            A7sus4 
I eat my eggs with the evening news. 
A       G     D    E             A             A7sus4 
And the sun's gone down before I find my shoes. 
A     G     D   E             C#m          E7/B bass 
Music fills the air, but it's all the blues.

E                A        E 
She won't let me fly away, 
A                         E D 
she won't let me fly away. 



[Verso 2]

         G   D  E            A              A7sus4 
Well, we got no heat and the window's broke, 
A   G     D     E          A                A7sus4 
The storm rains came, everything got soaked. 
A           G  D     E             A             A7sus4 
And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke, 
A        G    D     E             C#m          E7/B 
Then the Lord looks down saying, "Can't you take a joke?"

She won't let me fly away,

she won't let me fly away. 



[Pré-Refrão]

    G#m                F#m          E 
The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard, 

    G#m            F#m          E 
The ocean's just a memory in my dream. 
       G#m         F#m        E 
Then a man comes a TV selling soapsuds 
   D           A             E 
To dirty up my rivers and my streams. 
       G   D   E         A          Asus4 
Like a mystery movie without an end. 
A        G     D    E        A           A7sus4 
When you think it's over, it just begins. 
A        G D    E             A             A7sus4 
It's not always true that the good guy wins, 
A      G    D  E           C#m     E7/B 
I been down so long that I got the bends.

E                A        E   A                         E 
She won't let me fly away,    she won't let me fly away.
