Verse 1:
C C G G Dm Dm
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky,
F F
And we'll stir the stars
C C G G Dm Dm
Around and watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
F F G G
And plummet out of sight and
C C G G Dm Dm
Sound. The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
F F
Where I live in the Alpine
C C G G Dm Dm
Heights below the northern lights. I spend my coldest nights
F F G G C C F F
Alone awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love.

Bride 1:
C C F F G G C C (x4)

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1):
C C G G Dm Dm
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
F F
A A thousand miles from the
C C G G Dm Dm
Tide. Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls.
F F
Distract me so I stay
G G Dm Dm
Inside. I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade
F F
'Cuz I would make a hook, and
C C G G Dm Dm
I fish them from the sky. My darling she and I
F F G G Dm Dm
Were hanging on, so take us high to sing the world goodbye.

Chorus:
F F C C G G
I am floating away,
F F C C G G
Lost in a silent ballet.
F F C C G G C C
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you.
F F C C G G C C
Awake to take in the view.
F F C C G G
Late nights and early parades,
F F C C G G
Still photos and noisy arcades.
F F C C G G C C
My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing,
F F C C G G C C
And we can go anywhere

Bridge 2:
F F C C G G
Are you there?
F F C C G G C C
Are you there, or are you just a decoy
F F C C G G
Dream in my head?
F F G G F F C C
Am Am I home or am I simply
F F C C G G
Tumbling out alone?

Bride 1:
C C F F G G C C (x6)

Chorus:
F F C C G G
I am floating away,
F F C C G G
Lost in a silent ballet.

Awake to take in the view.

Still photos and noisy arcades.

My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing,

Are you there?
