F#5                    
I'm sitting pretty and I don't know why
Bb5
I found somebody said he'll make me fly
B5
Wrapped me up in ribbons then he left me to die
F#5
Wrapped me up in ribbons then he left me to die
F#5
Told me he'd hold me till there was no more
Bb5
Told me that he'd love me from the top to the floor
B5
Wrapped me up in ribbons then he went for the door
F#5
Wrapped me up in ribbons then he went for the door


B5                   C#5            Eb5           C#5       
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
B5                   C#5            Eb5           C#5
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks


                B5                        C#5
Because I'm not flying
        Eb5        C#5 
I'm not flying am I 
        B5      C#5      Eb5         C#5    
I'm not flying so damn high in the sky
        B5                      C#5
I'm not flying 
        Eb5        C#5
I'm not flying am I 
        B5      C#5 F#5
I'm not flying am I?


Bb5 B5  F#5 x2


F#5
You look so pretty in the dark of night
Bb5
But i'm getting wise in the early light
B5
I can see you falling like a homemade kite
F#5
I can see you falling like a homemade kite
F#5
You put your Sunday best on for us all
Bb5
Painting up a promise that you know will fall
B5
Wrap me with your ribbons tie me to the wall
F#5
Wrap me with your ribbons tie me to the wall


B5                   C#5            Eb5           C#5       
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
B5                   C#5            Eb5           C#5
Yea all the time he takes are the words that he breaks


                B5                        C#5
Because I'm not flying
        Eb5        C#5 
I'm not flying am I 
        B5      C#5         Eb5              C#5    
I'm not flying so damn high in the sky
        B5                      C#5
I'm not flying 
             Eb5        C#5
I'm not flying am I 
        B5      C#5 F#5           
I'm not flying am I?
