The TGV's on and I loDok around
And nCadd9obody is watching
TGhey have all goDne to live their Cadd9lives
I sit Gdown on the coDuch and I
FinalCadd9ly start to realise
Lately liGving hasn't Deven crossed mCadd9y mind
I used to live sEm7ometiCadd9mes
I used to live sEm7ometiCadd9mes
Interlude: Repeat intro tab
I waGlk out the door and lDook up
And eCadd9verybody's flying
But GI can't seem to gDet up off the Cadd9ground
I stGrain my eyes to cDatch a glimpse
But tCadd9hey're all off and soaring
I guGess I'll wait for tDhem to come bacCadd9k down
I used to fly sEm7ometiCadd9mes
I used to fly sEm7ometiCadd9mesD  
I loved hearing about the Cadd9good old Gdays and Cadd9remember Gwhen
You teCadd9aching me about loGve and that there's noDthing like a friend
Because even though the Cadd9good old dGays, they Cadd9came and wGent
I'll hCadd9ang on to every woGrd until thDe end
Interlude: Repeat intro tab    
I kGnow that you've saDcrificed
And dCadd9id it all for me
I hGope you know you've neDver let me Cadd9down
I kGnow it wasn't eDasy
To let me Cadd9go into the world
I hope the mGan that I've beDcome has made you Cadd9proud
I hope you're proud of me sEm7ometiCadd9mes
