        I said I wanna touch the Earth.
         Em      D/F#   G              Em    D/F#      G
I wanna break it in my hands. I wanna grow something wild 
    D               Em           D/F#  G                Em
and unruly. I wanna sleep on the hard ground, in the comfort
  D/F#  G          Em     D/F#    G      C      D
of your arms. On a pillow of blue bonnets and a blanket made
                C      G/B     D                 G G/B Am7
of stars. Oh it sounds good to me. I said cowboy take me 
D/B7fr. D                  Em              C         
away. And fly this girl as high as you can into the wild 
D            G G/B  Am7 D/B7fr D       Em                   
blue. Set me free oh I pray, closer to heaven above and 
C              D
closer to you. Closer to you.

I wanna walk and not run. I wanna skip and not fall. I wanna
Em       D/F#   G    C      D                              
look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall. I 
      Em     D/F#  G      Em   D/F#  G       Em       D/F#
wanna be the only one for miles and miles. Except for maybe 
     C       D                   C      G/B     D 
you and your simple smile. Oh it sounds good to me. Yes it 
C         G/B     D          G G/B Am7 D/B7fr       D
sounds so good to me. Cowboy take me   away     and fly 
             Em                C           D         
this girl as high as you can into the wild blue. Set me

free oh    I pray   Closer to heaven above and closer to
     D/F#   D
you.      Closer to you.
