Am                    F
Look up here, I’m in heaven
Am                            F
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
Am                         F
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Am                  F
Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below

Am F                      Am F
    Ain’t that just like me

Chorus:
C       D#  G         F#
By the time I got to New York
C      D#     G      F#
I was living like a king
C      D#      G      F#
Then I used up all my money
C      D#      G       F#
I was looking for your ass

This way or no way
You know I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now, ain't that just like me?

Oh, I'll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh, I'll be free
Ain't that just like me?
