(C)I can’t stand to fly.

(Am)I’m not that na ive.

(C)I’m just out to find

’bout the (Am)bet ter part of me.

I’m more than a bird.

I’m more than a plane.

I’m more than some pret ty face be side (F)a train.

And it’s not eas y

to be

(F)me.

I (C)wish that I could cry.

(Am)Fall up on my knees.

(C)Find a way to lie

’bout a (Am)home I’ll nev er see.

It may sound ab surd,

but don’t be na ive.

I’m more E ven he roes have the right (F)a train.

And it’s not eas y

to be

(F)me.

I (F)to bleed.

I may be dis turbed,

but won’t you con cede

e ven he roes have the right (F)to dream?

And it’s not eas y

to be

(F)me.

(Am)Up, up and a way, a way from me.

Well, it’s all right,

you can all sleep sound to night.

I’m not cra zy

or an y (G)thing.

(C)I can’t stand to fly.

(Am)I’m not that na ive.

(C)Men weren’t meant to ride

with clouds be tween their knees.

I’m on ly a man

in a sil ly red (G)sheet, dig ging for kryp ton ite on this one way street.

On ly a man in a fun ny red (G)sheet, look ing for spe cial things in side (F)of me, in side of me,

in side of me.

Yeah, in side of me,

I’m on ly a man

in a fun ny red (G)sheet.

I’m on ly a man look ing for a dream.

I’m on ly a man in a fun ny red (G)sheet and it’s not eas y,

(F)ooh, ooh, ooh.

It’s not eas y

(G)to be

(C)me.
