Superman by Ivory Layne

Capo 3

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


[Verse 1]
G

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


[Pre-Chorus 2]
             Am                 Em
I wish you'd known that I would mean
           C               D
To fall in love, were you oblivious?
         Am               Em
You were high in the atmosphere
  C           D
I disappear below


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


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