[Verse 1]
"Birds [F]and planes go
[C]Through [G]the [C]rainbow[Dm]
[C]Every [F]day [G]though
You simply re[Gdim]fuse
Old-fashioned Fer[Fm]ris Ferris [F]Wheels
[C]Are no [G]big [Gm]deal[G]
[A]They're [Dm]just [F]big wheels with [G]chairs
So don't be [Gdim]scared
[Bbm]Just set [Edim]yourself [Fm]free"

[Verse 2]
She [F]tells me [Dm]it's alright
[C]To open up [A]my eye[Dm] s[C]
She [F]holds on[Dm]to my ha[G]nd
And [Eb]the clouds [Edim]float b[Fm]y
[F]The couple in the [Dm]car [C]be low
They [Edim]wave to us an[A]d say hello[Dm][C]
I [F]think they [Dm]understand
[G]The way[Eb] we're feel[Edim]ing

[Verse 3]
[Fm]I don't ne[F]ed to[Dm]
[C]say [G]'I [C]love [A]you'
[Dm]When [C]we're [F]floating[Dm]
[G]So far up [Eb]above
[Edim]Everyone [Fm]else's [C]liv[Eb]es[F]
[Dm]Are [C]inter [G]tw[C]ined
[A]With [Dm]yours [C]and[F] mine
[Dm]I ho[G]pe
They find the [Eb]joy
[Edim]That we have fou[Fm]nd

[Verse 4]
[F]She tells me [Dm]it's alright
[C]To ope[Edim]n up my [A]eyes[Dm][C]
She [F]holds on[Dm]to my ha[G]nd
And the [Eb]clouds [Edim]race by[Fm]
The [F]couple in [Dm]the car [C]above
I suppose they think
[A]That we're in [Dm]love[C]
I [F]think they [Dm]might be [G]right

[Verse 5]
And without warning when [G]we're
almost [Fm]at the top
[Eb]The wheel that turns us all
comes to a sudden stop.
[C]The wind that's blown us dies
a quick and painless [Ab]death
The air gets clammy and we
hold each [Fm]other's breath
[Eb]We get the feeling that
we're not alone [Fm]in this
[F#]And then a God who really
ought not [Ebm]to exist
[Db]Sticks out a great big hand
And grabs me by the wrist
[Eb]And asks me "why?" and I say
"Well God, it's like this
[Ab]It may be arrogance
Or just appalling [E]taste
But I'd rather use my pain
than let it all go to waste
[C#]On some old god who tells
me what I want to hear
[A]As if I cannot tel[B]l obedien[F#m]ce fro[Ebdim]m fear
[E]I want to take my pleasures
where and how I will,
[G]Be they disgraceful
or distasteful [Em]or dist[D]illed
And to be frank I find that
life has [Ebdim]more appeal
[E]Without a driver who's asleep
be[A]hind the wheel"

[Verse 6]
Then God decides that he has [A]taken
quite enough
[F]Of all this atheistic tosh I'm spouting off
[D]And so he calls upon his
favorite angel choir
[Bb]To sing of times when men
were filled with christian fire
[F]But over-zealous angels angels
flap their wings too [Ab]fast
And cause the wind to blow
and turn the wheel [Fm]at last
[Eb]And soon my feet are safely
back on solid ground
[F]And then I hear a voice say
"Don't [Gbdim]look down!".
