[G]
[D] I was a [A] child, [Bm] born [A] at the top [D] [A] of the [Bm] tower.
I didn't [D] know [G] where to [D] turn.

[D] to turn.

[A] In the sky, [G] in my mind, as we [A] rose,
my body [G] [A] just let me down.
And I [C] wonder [D] something you can't see,
[C]
but it's still very [D] real to me.
[C] [E] If you find it in the [Gb] hole where I keep my soul,
lay it [Ab] down inside [A] me.

I'm going to [D] [G] pretend.
So cool [A] breeze put me down.
And [G] that pity me could tie [A] in,

[A] [G] You can [A] laugh at me [G] now.
I'll be glad.
I'm going to have to, [A] everybody.
You must decide.
[C] When the day [D] finally comes along,
you [C] might wish you did a [D] little more strong.
