Am
I’ve got to get out, Oh god

I’ve got to get out of the city
G
For just one day, For just one night

Please understand I’ll be alright

F       C
I’ll be a-ok, a-alright
E                          Am             F
I’ll spread my wings, I’ll take my maiden flight
G
Tonight
Am
Tonight

[verse 2]
Am
I’ve got to get home, Oh yes

I’ve got to get home in a hurry
G
For just one day, For just one night

My hit field’s clear (?), feels screwed on tight

F      C
I feel a-ok, out of sight
E               Am                 F
Raise your open arms, I’ll land tonight
G
Tonight
Am
Tonight

[break]

Am x4

F
And if my heavy heart should open wide
F
I’d touch down by your side
F
Right by your side

Am

[verse 3]
Am
I’ve got to be strong, So strong

I’ve got to be strong and determined
    G
Oh, one more fray, Oh, one more fight

My sword is drawn, my helmet’s tied

F      C
I feel a-ok, swift and spry
    E                  Am
The battle line’s been drawn with blood
    F
And mine (?)
G
it’s so bright
Am
It’s so bright

[verse 4]
Am                                G
Now I’ll find a place where I can bury
  F            C
My head in the sand
             E                Am
Oh, a slowly sinking piece of land
            F
Down by the sea
               G
Yeah, I lie in peace
            Am      E
Down by the sea
F             G
Yes, I lie in peace
          Am
Under the sea

[outro]
F
And if my heavy heart should open wide
F
I’d surface by your side
F
Right by your side
F
(I’d touch down by your side, by your side…)
