(Bb5)
Screaming for me
   G5To (355xxx@1)understand what you've been thinking.
D5 (xx023x@1)              F5 (133xxx@1) There's a cloud casting o'er your head.
Bb5Can't (x133xx@1)see anything clear;

G5You're (355xxx@1)only seeing who you were.

It's much better without having gravity holding you down from the air.
