G            D/F# C
I'm in the sky tonight,
G            D/F#    C
there I can keep by your side
 G           D/F#        C        A7
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
C        D               G
I'll be coming home next year

Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight we'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year

C                  G
Come on get on get on
 C                     G
Take it till life runs out
 C
No one can find us now,
 A/C#                        D
Living with our heads underground

Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high when I come down
I'll be coming home next year

I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year

I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here If I come down
I'll be coming home next year

A7
Say goodbye
 C
Say goodbye
A7
Say goodbye
 C     D/F#
Say goodbye
