Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][E]
[D][E][Asus4][A]
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
[E]Take off,
little [A]winged [D]creature[Dsus4]
[D]It's nothing but[E] teens in ravines
And [Asus4]antic s o[A]n concrete
down [D]here[Dsus4][D]
And are you [E]really as free as all the [Asus4]great
songs would [A]have [D]me belie[Dsus4]ve?
[D]Let me tell you why som[E]e day, Birdie,
[A]you're gonna [Asus4]envy me[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Some dream of [Abdim]a world w[E]ritten
in [Am]lines [G]of [D]code
I hope they [E]engineer out politics,
[A]romance, and edifice
[Asus4]Two outta three[D] ain't[Dsus4] bad[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Some envision [Abdim]a state g[E]overned
by [Am]laws of [G]busi[D]ness
[E]Merger and acquisition instead
of [A]violence or nations
Where do [D]I sign [Dsus4]up?

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][D][C][Dsus4]
[D][Dsus4][D][Abdim][E][A][D]
[E][C#m][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[E]Take off, little [D]winged [Asus4]creature[D]
[Asus4][D][Dsus4][D]
It's nothing but [E]falling debris, [A]strollers,
and babies [D]down here
And you may be [E]up in the sky but [A]our paradigms
are just as [D]deep and just as wide
What with all [E]our best attempts
at [A]transcendence
Something's [D]bound to take

[Verse 5]
Soon, [G]we'll live in [Abdim]a global culture [Am]devoid
of [G]gender [Dsus4]or race[D]
There's just [E]one tiny line
You're either [A]born behind
Or you're free [D]to peek inside

[Verse 6]
[G]Life as just narrat[Abdim]ive,
[Am]metadata in [G]aggreg[D]ate
Where the [E]en igma of humanity's
[A]wrapped up finally
That as [D]they say is that
[D]Oh, that day can

[Verse 7]
[Am]'t come
[G]soon [C]eno[D]ugh
It'll be [Am]so gl[G]orious
[D]When they finally find
out what's [D]bugging us
