D               G
She brings her friends

so we won't have to be alone 
               D              G
I fear that I might lose my composure 
        C
without warning 
       D                     G       
I am a child of fire, I am a lion 
       C
I have desires and 
D           G                  C
I was born inside the sun this morning

D          G
This dizzy life of mine

Is hangin' me up all the time 
 D          G                     Am
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree

They say good evening when they don't know what to say 
(G)               D                          C        G
And they say good morning when they wish you would go home 
D        G               C                 G
You open windows and you wait for someone warm to come inside 
  D           G              C
and then you freeze to death alone

This dizzy life of mine

Is hangin' me up all the time 
 D          G                     Am
This dizzy life is just a hanging tree

I got a pair of wings for my birthday
