🎸 Verse 1:
G+G    B minorBm     G+G      B minorBm
After a heady night out on the tiles
      G+G     B minorBm      G+G     B minorBm
As the nightclubs spill onto the street
     E minorEm         B7B7      E minorEm
There's vodka and wine and blood in the gutters
E minorEm   D MajorD        D7D7
The drunkards they mutter unsteady on their feet
         G+G    B minorBm  G+G
Wouldn't it be fine to climb up on the roof
     C majorC            D MajorD       B7B7
See the lights of the city spread out like a galaxy
E minorEm            B7B7    E minorEm
And with a little Dutch courage inside of me
D MajorD       D7D7
I'll take a leap of faith in search of proof

🎸 Chorus:
G+G   D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC      G+G
Here I sway as the hinge of the year swings around
   B minorBm      G7G7       C majorC       G+G        C majorC    Cm7Cm7
One sip from the hip flask just might bring the ground a little nearer
Am7Am7        D7D7       E minorEm
Might bring these swirling lights clearer
            Am7Am7
Might just topple this fear
             D7D7    G+G
As the hinge of the year swings around

🎸 Instrumental:
G+G B minorBm G7G7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7  Am7Am7 G+G B minorBm G7G7 C majorC  Cmaj7Cmaj7 Am7Am7

🎸 Verse 2:
 G+G       B minorBm
Searching for proof that these
       G+G     B minorBm      G+G
That these feathers are no flight of fancy
B minorBm           G+G
For they've never been flown
    E minorEm         B7B7      E minorEm
Been hiding them under my coat all the winter
Am7Am7    D7D7
But lately how they've grown

 G+G            Gm7Gm7        G+G
So have I, shot up like a weed through the concrete
    C majorC     Am7Am7     D MajorD        B7B7
I'm sweeter than honey mead, that's what they tell me
E minorEm            B7B7           Am7Am7
I make them so heady, a little unsteady on their feet
C majorC     D7D7
Until they run from me

🎸 Chorus:
G+G   D MajorD      E minorEm      C majorC      G+G
Here I sway as the hinge of the year swings around
   B minorBm      G7G7       C majorC       G+G        C majorC    Cm7Cm7
One sip from the hip flask just might bring the ground a little nearer
Am7Am7        D7D7       E minorEm
Might bring these swirling lights clearer
E minorEm            Am7Am7 D7D7
Might just topple this fear
             C majorC    E minorEm
As the hinge of the year swings around

🎸 Verse 3:
G+G      B minorBm    G+G      B minorBm
I won't be anyone's stone carved angel
    G+G     D MajorD     G+G
I'm gristle and feather and bone
E minorEm     G+G    EbdimEbdim   E minor 7Em7
I won't be anyone's bird in a cage
   AdimAdim     E minorEm
No freakshow on a stage
   D MajorD    C majorC
So leave me alone
  G+G    B minorBm           G+G
I knew I was different ever since I hatched out
   C majorC        Am7Am7    D MajorD      B7B7
And I don't need to stumble on rooftops and shout

Am7Am7        D7D7       E minorEm
Might bring these swirling lights clearer
            Am7Am7 D7D7
Might just topple this fear
             C majorC    E minorEm
As the hinge of the year swings around

Might just topple this fear

As the hinge of the year swings around
D7D7                            G+G
I'll take my first footing and part with my old friend the ground
