(verse)
 Em                         B     
Silly fly where?s your self-control?

                           C           G                C        G
You?re flying high and everyone?s gone home. Still you carry on alone.

Em                            B
Silly fly have you ever had enough?

                      C             G                 C            B
When there?s warning line before too much, still you just can?t get enough.

(chorus)
 Em                                   C
Silly Fly, do you think that you?re a bird?

            G                  D
Yeah your flying, but you?re wings are old and torn.

Em                                     C
Silly fly, do you think that that?s a star?

             G                                D
Yeah it?s shining, but you won?t get what you came for.

(verse - same as above)
Silly fly your pestering the crowd.
Your cleverness is all but wearing out and you?re just not coming down
Silly fly you claim you lost a friend.
But there was never one when you began, just a joker in a skin.

(chorus - same as above)
Silly Fly, do you think that you?re a bird?
Yeah your flying, but you?re wings are old and torn.
Silly fly, do you think that that?s a star?
Yeah it?s shining, but you won?t get what you came for.

Em              G     C ( B ) Em           G        C               B 
When will you figure out, closer to the sun is further from the ground...

Em         G          C   B
Will you scream out loud?

         Em           G           C              B
I was closing on the sun now I?m falling to the ground.

C         D
Ground, ground...

(chorus - same as above)
Silly Fly, do you think that you?re a bird?
Yeah, your flying but you?re wings are old and torn.
Silly fly, do you think that that?s a star?
Yeah, it?s shining but you won?t get what you came for.
