[Verse 1]
but that’s just something people sFay
when they’re on thCeir last leg and
they need soFmeone to say something to help them cope
or somDmeone to say something hopefCul
I Chope you’re okF  
but thats just something people Csay
and if I mDmeant every word that I ever said
you would prFobably question the life I have led
you’d probably think I’m an evil broken Cperson
and you would be rightC  
[Chorus 1]
because FI went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearCview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laDmughed about it all nigCht
and I said “hey Fman, isn’t it poetic
that the sCky is what we leave behind?”
cause I was born Dminto the world on a silken cloud
and I got boCred of the world before I hit the ground
[Verse 2]
and you’Fre the one who taught me to be brCave
I’ve nevDmer spent a moment loving anyoFne but yoCu
and maFybe that’s just something thCat people say
but I hoDmpe that you know it’s the truFth
[Chorus 2]
because FI went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearCview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laDmughed about it all nigCht
[Verse 3]
because yFou were the first one to sChow me the stars
and they don’t mDmean much to me
but I still woFnder where you are
and soDmme nights I still try to fiFnd you
relDmative to constellaFtions
and all your relDmatives are still on vacatFion
or so I heCard from a friDmend
and does it mFean anythingC  
that Dmyou stayed in towCn?
probably not
[Chorus 3]
because FI went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearCview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laDmughed about it all nigCht
and I said “hey Fman, isn’t it poetic
that the sCky is what we leave behind?”
cause I was born Dminto the world on a silken cloud
and I got boCred of the world before I hit the ground
hey man, isn’t iFt poetic
that the sCky is what we leave behind?
cause I was born Dminto the world on a silken cloud
and I got boCred of the world before I hit the ground

[Verse 1]

but that’s just something people say

when they’re on their last leg and

they need someone to say something to help them cope

Dm C

or someone to say something hopeful

C F

I hope you’re ok

but thats just something people say

and if I meant every word that I ever said

you would probably question the life I have led

you’d probably think I’m an evil broken person

and you would be right

[Chorus 1]

because I went downhill at such steep incline

that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

Dm C

and I laughed about it all night

and I said “hey man, isn’t it poetic

that the sky is what we leave behind?”

cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud

and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

[Verse 2]

F C

and you’re the one who taught me to be brave

Dm F C

I’ve never spent a moment loving anyone but you

F C

and maybe that’s just something that people say

Dm F

but I hope that you know it’s the truth

[Chorus 2]

because I went downhill at such steep incline

that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

Dm C

and I laughed about it all night

[Verse 3]

F C

because you were the first one to show me the stars

and they don’t mean much to me

but I still wonder where you are

Dm F

and some nights I still try to find you

Dm F

relative to constellations

Dm F

and all your relatives are still on vacation

C Dm

or so I heard from a friend

F C

and does it mean anything

Dm C

that you stayed in town?

probably not

[Chorus 3]

because I went downhill at such steep incline

that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

Dm C

and I laughed about it all night

and I said “hey man, isn’t it poetic

that the sky is what we leave behind?”

cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud

and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

hey man, isn’t it poetic

that the sky is what we leave behind?

cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud

and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
