[G]
Spread your wings, [D]
come on fly, fly straight [C]
to my heart.
Oh, [G] little angel child, you know [D] you're only a [C] lonely 22 [G] story
flower.
And if [C] somebody, not just anybody, wanted to get [G] close to you, for instance me,
baby, [D] all you gotta do is ring the bell, step right [C] up, [D] step right up, and step right
[G] up in a
[D]
crowd, but catch it, fly it, say [G] it, try it.
Well, I may be wrong,
[D] but sometimes I don't think so.
[C]
You know I saw the writing [G] on the wall when
[D]
you came up to me, [C]
say you were heading [G] for a fall.
It
[C]
gets to you, and you feel like you just [G] can't go on.

step right up, just [G] like a ballerina, step lightly.

[D] And I'm standing in your doorway, [C] and I'm mumbling and I can't [G] remember the last thing that ran through my head.
[C] Here come the man, here come the man, and he [G] say, he say this show must go on.
So

[D] Grab the catcher, fly inside, [G] come on, die, yeah, yeah.
[D] Just like a ballerina, just like a, just like a, just like a, just [G] like a ballerina, baby.
