Intro:

C G Am F
C G Am F

Verse 1:
C                 G                 Am                   F
There was a spark and it lit up the streets of a strange town
C           G             Am   F
I was alone but I wasn't alone
C                 G          Am             F
There in the dark I found my heart half beating
C                     G           Am F
In a white stone room by the ocean

Verse 2:
C                G         Am                   F
I lay on the bed in all my clothes just thinking
C               G          Am   F
Into your smile I fell too soon
C                 G                Am      F
Our lips were dry and the kiss was missing something
C                G            Am   F
I looked outside at the jumbo moon

Chorus:
C                  G Am        F
I can see the ground get far below me
C                  G           Am F
I can see the lights of Sicily
C             G Am         F
Up into the air before I'm ready
C             G          Am      F
Up into the air so I can breathe

Verse 3:
C            G                   Am          F
Honey and wine, it's a beautiful combination
C          G                   Am         F
Faraway high, like you're lost in a dream
C           G                Am                F
Ready to feel, I thought you seemed to know me
C              G                Am      F
I guess the past takes a moment to burn

Chorus:
C                  G Am        F
I can see the ground get far below me
C                  G           Am F
I can see the lights of Sicily
C             G Am         F
Up into the air before I'm ready
C             G          Am      Am
Up into the air so I can breathe

Bridge:
       D                  Am
In the smokey haze of the backstreet bar
            D                 Am
Playing The Queen is Dead and Mazzy Star
      D                      Am              G
Never know you now, 'cause I got so far from here

Chorus:
      C                  G Am        F
Cause I can see the ground get far below me
C                  G           Am F
I can see the lights of Sicily
C             G Am         F
Up into the air before I'm ready
C             G          Am      F
Up into the air so I can breathe

Outro:
C   G   Am        F
Ooh ooh what do I want?
C         G        Am  F
Im taking after no one
C   G   Am        F
Ooh ooh what do I need?
C           Am       Am  F
I'm holding on to no one
C             G Am       F
Up into the air so I can breathe
C                  G          Am F
I can see the lights of Sicily
C             G Am F
Up into the air
