D5 - E5 - A5 - A5 
Di di di di di la la la la la la  
 
(verse 1) 
       D5 
In a spaceship over the mountains, 
        E5        G5             D5 
chasing rainbows in the setting sun, 
         G5        E5           D5      B5 
leaving heart and home for the city of angels, 
  E5                A5 
I feel my life is undone, 
           D5 
There are pathways winding below me, 
    E5           G5              D5 
In pleasure I've gone where they go, 
         G5    E5       D5          B5 
In the quiet stillness, I can hear symphonies, 
    E5                 A5 
the loveliest music I know, 
 

E5        A5          D5    B5 
How can I leave you again, 
  E5            A5        F#5  B5 
I must be clear out of my mind, 
E5       F#5               G5 
Lost in a storm I've gone blind, 
    E5        A5          D5 
Oh, how can I leave you again,  
 
(Bridge) 
         E5                          D5 
Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened, 
      E5                            D5 
still longer since I've walked with you, 
         E5                        D5 
For the first time I know what I'm missing, 
     E5              C5      A5  A5 
Some answers are no longer true, so I, 
 
(Verse 2) 
  D5 
question the course that I follow, 
    E5        G5          D5 
I'm doubtful, deep in despair, 
    G5       E5            D5       B5 
My heart is filled with impossible notions, 
       E5               A5 
Can it be you no longer care, 
         D5 
Still I ride on the wings of a high wind, 
         E5         G5       D5 
Blowing steady and strong behind me, 
         G5       E5         D5          B5 
As the clouds surrender, my fate is for certain, 
      E5                     A5 
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea, but 
 
(Chorus) 
E5        A5          D5    B5 
How can I leave you again, 
  E5            A5        F#5  B5 
I must be clear out of my mind, 
E5       F#5               G5 
Lost in a storm I've gone blind, 
    E5        A5          D5 
Oh, how can I leave you again,
