that's about all for the intro and verse it just repeats that
right before it gets heavy it plays the part with the * twice
if it seems tough or like it sounds wierd try this,
its based on a really wierd chord that is pretty much just slid up and
down
the chords are as follows
E |-----7----6----4----2----
B |-----8----7----5----3----
G |-----0----0----0----0----
D |-----9----8----6----4----
A |----10----9----7----5----

*instead of the palm mutings before the C chord...you can substitute a B
at
the 7th fret...it'll sound a little better but not much different.

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up out of there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean
had a smoke and a tea
The wind rose up, set him down on his knees
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw,
delivered him wings and let him out
Arms wide open with the sea as he's flung
Oh, oh oh... He's flying! Woah!
High! Wide! Oh...
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
by faceless men, the fuckers...
He still stands.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes you see a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly
Flying!
Woah...High! Flying!
Woah...Flying Woah...Oh Woah...
