Tom : C
C Am
Dear Haley, can you save me from the borrowed cloud I'm on
Ab5 A#5 C
All you gotta do is try,
G5 F5
Pray you're just getting by
C Am
Hey wait I thought you'd made it How'd your bottled crown fall off
Ab5 A#5 C
Tell me how'd you get so tired
G5 F5
Faded down to the wire
G C5 B5 Am
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Ab5 C
Wasting time, so very ordinary
Am
Wait until my bomb goes off
Ab5 A#5 C
See the actors run and hide
G5 F5
Fake it all in stride
C Am
One day we all can say we're gone And haunt the ground we're from
Ab5 A#5 C
Everything's so open wide
G5 F5
Here within the divide
C Am C Am Ab5 A#5 C
Aint it the life, Aint it the life , Aint it the life got no crime,
just sail on by
G5 F5
Sail on by
