Am Dm

Did you ever look down on an Egyptian plain

Did you ever look down upon the golden grain

Am Dm

and if you could find water on that Egyptian plain

Dsus4 Am Dm Am

Would you ever go back there again

II:

Am Dm

Did you ever head out across the Aegean sea

Dsus4 Am

Have you looked down on a sunrise in the east

Am Dm

And if you saw your reflection in that Aegean sea

Dsus4 Am

Could it mean that that's where you were meant to be

CHORUS:

Dm Am

But you and I, we're flyin' high

We'll touch the sky

We're flyin' high

But you and I, we're flyin' high

We'll touch the sky

We're flyin' high

III:

Am Dm

Can you still see the water, can you still see the sands

Dsus4 Am

Higher and higher away from the land

Am Dm

We were born in the waters, lost in the sands,

Dsus4 Am

Now, we're flyin' high

CHORUS:

Dm Am

But you and I, we're flyin' high

Dm Dsus4 Am

We'll touch the sky

We're flyin' high!
