G
Into the distance
A/E G/D
A ribbon of black
G - Em
Stretched to the point of no turning back
D/F# - G
A flight of fancy
A/E G/D
On a windswept field
G - Em
Standing alone my senses reel
D/F# - G
A fatal attraction
A/E G/D
Is holding me fast
G Em
How can I escape this irresistible grasp

Chorus:
D/F# - C C/B
Can't keep my eyes from
Am
The circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted
C D
Just an earth-bound misfit, I

G
Ice is forming
A/E G/D
On the tips of my wings
G - Em

No navigator
A/E G/D
To find my way home

Unladen, empty and turned to stone

G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
Em
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty
air
G
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Em
Out of the corner of my watering eye

G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light;
Em
Could blow this soul right through
The roof of the night

Chorus:
D/F# - C C/B
There's no sensation to
Am
Com - pare with this

Just an earth-bound misfit, I
