[Verse 1]
G
He could've tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
D
A bad time, nothing could save him
G
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
D
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
G
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
D
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
G
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
D
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
G
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
D
Oh, power, oh
[Chorus]
C
He's.. flying
Whole
G D
High.. wide, oh
[Verse 2]
G
He floated back down cause he wanted to share
D
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
G
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed by faceless men
D
Well, fuckers, he still stands
G
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
D
The love he receives is the love that is saved
G
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
D
A human being that was given to fly
[Chorus]
C
He's.. flying
Whole
G D
High.. wide, oh
