               What...

Verse 1:
 Em                 F         Em
What does the free fall feel like?
                                 G
Asks the boy with a spark in his eye
                          Am
Know why the nightingale sings
       C         D      Em
Is the answer to everything.


Verse 2:
                      F       Em
Taking a step to the world unbound
                            G
Spinning my fantasies all around
                         Am
Freed from the gravital leash
             C       D      Em
I swear the heaven's in my reach

Verse 3:
                        F      Em
Dancing with the spirit of the air
                              G
In this ocean so so open and fair
                          Am
Making love to the gods above
       C      D         Em
On my maiden voyage so bold


Verse 4:
                       F      Em
Landing safely to the blue lagoon
                                        G
Don't know if this is the earth or the moon
                            Am
Joy of living is no more a mask
            Db        Eb       F
The Eden I found will forever last

Verse 5:
Ab         E        Eb
Migrating with the geese

- My soul has finally found peace
Ab                    E           Eb

Ab              E        Eb          Ab
- As long as I hear the nightingale sing...
