^FI had you pegged as one who woul^C/Gd throw me ^GC/Gway from your shoreline ^GInto the galaxy ^FWhere moons are a fool ^C/GStars climb eternity ^GLong after voids ^GC/Gnd handwritten destiny ^FLong after voices return from th^C/Ge telephone ^GCut off from color ^GLeave everyone you know ^FThey'll let you down ^C/GI'll let you talk into the sky ^GThat he keeps turning off like a ^Flight ^{C/G G}
