  E    Fx2
D  C
First verse:
Gwhere is your mother,  wEmhere is your father,
Gtwo little children,  Emlocked in a cupboard.
GInto the wide world,  Emhigh on the high wire,
GWhat would you give to fly Emaway, away, away, away,
Daway, away, away, away, Caway
Second verse:
GGirl with the flower, Emboy with the hammer,
GLost in a forest, Emon another planet.
GFind me the exit, Emfind me the way home,
GFind all the love they took Emaway, away, away, away,
Dawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, D7ah
Chorus (coming off of D7):
Cos your Emhead, is a Dbrick wall,
And your Cheart, is a Dfootball
And your Emeyes, broken Dwindows,
when you Ccry, it's a Dgood day to Cdie.
Solo (well-tabbed on other GDTD tabs), the chords are similar to the verse,

G  D  Em  B
G  D  Em  Em
D     D7
Then, D7 back into the chorus chords.
Once through the chorus normally, but instead of playing the last C transcribed above
go right back into the Em to begin the next time through the chorus. Then...
Chorus:
Cos your Emhead, is a Dbrick wall,
And your Cheart, is a Dfootball
And your Emeyes, want Dyou ......?
When you Emcry, it's a Dgood day...
Cos your Emhead, is a Dbrick wall,
And your Cheart, is a Dfootball
And your Emeyes, it's a Dgood day...
     Am       Bm  CTodaCadd9y...
     Am       Bm  CTodaCadd9y...
     Am       Bm  CTodaCadd9y.......today......today.....
The outro seems to be messing back and forth with a C and a Cadd9.
