Superman by Ivory Layne

Capo 3

[Intro]
G+G
(Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane)


[Verse 1]
G+G
What happened to the boy I knew?
G+G
He promised me his love was true
G+G
Supposed to be a man
G+G
But his little plan had fell through

[Verse 2]
G+G
The one who used to tell me jokes
G+G
Was popular with all my folks
G+G
Had everybody fooled ‘cause he was so cool
G+G
Now it's up in smoke


[Pre-Chorus 1]
   E minorEm            G+G
What happened to my childhood dream
   C majorC          G+G
Your language I no longer speak
  E minorEm           G+G
How come you never talk to me?
      C majorC
My telephone never rings
      A minorAm          E minorEm
I wish I'd known that you would mean
     C majorC     D MajorD
To let me go, I was oblivious
     A minorAm      E minorEm
You were up on a pedestal
   C majorC         D MajorD
And I could not ring you in

[Chorus]
  A minorAm       E minorEm
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
  C majorC       D MajorD
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
  C majorC            D MajorD
But you were caught in the clouds
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
  And I was left on the ground


[Interlude]
G+G
(Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane)


[Verse 3]
G+G
What happened to the boy I knew
G+G
The one I thought had hung the moon
G+G
Supposed he was a man
G+G
But one stroke of his hand
G+G
And I'm painted blue


[Pre-Chorus 1]
   E minorEm            G+G
What happened to my childhood dream
   C majorC          G+G
Your language I no longer speak
  E minorEm           G+G
How come you never talk to me?
      C majorC
My telephone never rings
      A minorAm          E minorEm
I wish I'd known that you would mean
     C majorC     D MajorD
To let me go, I was oblivious
     A minorAm      E minorEm
You were up on a pedestal
   C majorC         D MajorD
And I could not ring you in


[Chorus]
  A minorAm       E minorEm
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
  C majorC       D MajorD
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
  C majorC            D MajorD
But you were caught in the clouds
  A minorAm       E minorEm
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
  C majorC       D MajorD
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
  C majorC            D MajorD
But you were caught in the clouds


[Bridge]
E minorEm         C majorC
You can't read the thoughts that form inside my head
  D MajorD
And you aren't strong enough to save my soul from dead
   E minorEm        C majorC               D MajorD
Then you can't keep my heart from being ripped to shreds
E minorEm       C majorC
I was wrong to alter reality
 D MajorD
I made you some superman you couldn't be
E minorEm       C majorC
All this time, oh, I truly did believe
D MajorD
That you got caught in the clouds


[Pre-Chorus 2]
       A minorAm         E minorEm
I wish you'd known that I would mean
      C majorC        D MajorD
To fall in love, were you oblivious?
     A minorAm        E minorEm
You were high in the atmosphere
 C majorC      D MajorD
I disappear below


[Chorus]
  A minorAm       E minorEm
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
  C majorC       D MajorD
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
  C majorC            D MajorD
But you were caught in the clouds
  A minorAm       E minorEm
Oh, you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
  C majorC       D MajorD
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
  C majorC            D MajorD
But you were caught in the clouds, oh


[Outro]
G+G
You got caught in the clouds, oh
G+G
And I don't know myself now, no
G+G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G+G
Is it a bird or a plane
