[Intro] Badd11 x8 [Verse] (play Riff 1 Part A & B)
     Aadd9                              E
I closed the door and stepped into the city

     Aadd9                     E
The city stepped right back to me

        Aadd9                             E
There's cracks on every sidewalk of this city

      Aadd9                  E
Like licking lips to swallow me
[Pre-Chorus]
          F#m7               G#m
This is a sea of cars on the road

              A                              Badd11
Lined up like bottles, shook up, ready to explode

                  F#m7                  G#m
With feathers and string and wax I made wings

               A                                      Badd11
I climbed up a building, crossed my heart, and took a leap
[Chorus] (play Riff 2 over first line)
Aadd9       E             Aadd9      E
One single voice makes a deafening sound

C#m        B        A           E
You can be anything this time around
[Verse] (play Riff 1 Part A & B)
   Aadd9                        E
I flew across the sea and to an island

   Aadd9                     E
I wrestled down an old King Kong

   Aadd9                          E
I rescued maidens captive on that island

 Aadd9        E
Hero in a uniform
[Pre-Chorus]
                   F#m7             G#m
My conscience was clean and taking control

         A                              Badd11
A model American just doing what he's told

              F#m7                    G#m
And dusty old crates, and my father's tapes

            A                                  Badd11
But Timothy Leary said the words which led the way
[Instrumental] [Riff 2] B x4 [Chorus] (play Riff 2 over first line)
Aadd9       E             Aadd9      E
One single voice makes a deafening sound

C#m        B        A           E
You can be anything this time around

C#m        B        A           E
You can be anything this time around

C#m        B        A           E    G#m
I won't go quietly this time around

C#m        B        A           E
I won't go quietly this time around
