    Fm           A#                 Fm
I'm nervous as I sit here alone
                  G#/D#    D#
Thinking about the idea of freedom
    Fm                 A#               Fm
I'm controlling all the wrong things
                 G#/D#
And to think of any gain from it
  D#
I must be dreaming

Not rejected from the heavens in the sky

If this is even anything at all
    Fm                 A#               Fm
The autumn, it has blown in quick
                 G#/D#
And I'm rushing to turn a new leaf
       D#
Before they fall

I'll never be Chris Bell
    Fm                   G#/D#
But perhaps I could hang in the cosmos at night
     Cm             D#
I could be the elected

Not rejected from the heavens in the sky

Verse 3:
     Fm                A#          Fm
I'm a slave to hate my enemies

And in doing so

I guess that I am farther from God
         Fm       A#               Fm
I'm not even in their memories
                      G#/D#                  D#
But I've been thinking about forgiveness for too long

     Cm             D#
I'll never be Meryl Streep
    Fm                   G#/D#
But someday I might believe in my own lies
     Cm             D#
I could be the elected
    Fm                   G#/D#
Not rejected from the heavens in the sky

D# Fm A# Fm G#/D# D#
D# Fm A# Fm G#/D# D#

Oh, to sleep so romantically
