[Verse 1]
A
There once flew a pilot, high and free
G               D
Danced with the clouds
G               G#  A
Pirouetted with the breeze
A
   But out of synch to the mechanical beat that
G             D            G     G# A
Pulsed at the heart of the metal machine
D
Thought of their partner and thought of their kids
A
Thought where they’re going and thought where they’d been
        A/G
But a sudden change
    A/F#
The routine shattered
   A/F
Prepare the mind
  E
Arrange the matters
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
A
I wake with a retch to the smell of ammonia and  My
A/F#       G    A/F G G# A
eyes start watering
A
A shadow?
 
A body?
 
“Who are you?” I say when a
A/F#  G             A/F#    G G# A
voice cracks like a fro  -  zen lake
D
“I am your child,
                          A
You are my mother and I’m sitting here dying”
         A/G                A/F#              A/F                E
I say “I got no children, I am but a boy, you are mistaken  ”She sings
A
“Follow me down through the wind and the earth
 
to the edge of the forgotten seas”
 
“Save me from the hurt”
 
“Tell me of my worth”
 
“A phantom is taking everything”

Death wish

We’re all holding hands

Death wish
                                                  G  G# A
Heading for the smoking hole in the airfield I can’t lo-cate
A/G             A/F#
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Save me!
A/F                       A
