Di di di di di la la la la la la
(verse 1)
D
In a spaceship over the mountains,
Em7 G D
chasing rainbows in the setting sun,
G Em7 D Bm
leaving heart and home for the city of angels,
Em7 A
I feel my life is undone,
D
There are pathways winding below me,
Em7 G D
In pleasure I've gone where they go,
G Em7 D Bm
In the quiet stillness, I can hear symphonies,
Em7 A
the loveliest music I know,
Em7 A D Bm
How can I leave you again,
Em7 A F#m7 Bm
I must be clear out of my mind,
Em7 F#m G
Lost in a storm I've gone blind,
Em7 A D
Oh, how can I leave you again,
(Bridge)
Em7 D
Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened,
Em7 D
still longer since I've walked with you,
Em7 D
For the first time I know what I'm missing,
Em C A A7sus
Some answers are no longer true, so I,
(Verse 2)
D
question the course that I follow,
Em7 G D
I'm doubtful, deep in despair,
G Em7 D Bm
My heart is filled with impossible notions,
Em7 A
Can it be you no longer care,
D
Still I ride on the wings of a high wind,
Em7 G D
Blowing steady and strong behind me,
G Em7 D Bm
As the clouds surrender, my fate is for certain,
Em7 A
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea, but
(Chorus)
Em7 A D Bm
How can I leave you again,
Em7 A F#m7 Bm
I must be clear out of my mind,
Em7 F#m G
Lost in a storm I've gone blind,
Em7 A D
Oh, how can I leave you again,
