[C1]Loosen the wire, your time has expired,
the only word left is "good[G]bye."
In my new dream the light's [F]shining on me,
little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the [C1]sky[G]. [F]

[C1]Hold your head higher, the heavenly choir
is settling in for the [G]night.
And where I had friends I am [F]left with loose ends;
four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of [G]fright.

>But enough of "the [C2]fight," enough "you and I,"
>enough of "pre[G]vail" or "walk in the [F]light."
>While the angels stand [C2]by I get high as a kite.
>I'm too tired to [G]smile or know that I'm [F]right. Am I [G]right?

[repeat=Intro]

>>[F]And all our best-laid [G]plans, they [C]crumbled [G]in our [Am]hands.
>>Our flags fell where they'd [G]fanned.
>>[F]You held in your [G]breath, long [C]after pro[G]jections of [Am]death
>>you sat in the waiting room gasping and rasped on dry [G]land.

But the [C1]audience is tired; "we've had enough fire,
we're entering the age now of [G]ice."
And I, feeling older, pull [F]off to the shoulder
and wonder, with my head in my hands, should I call my [G]wife

?>and say "enough 'you and [C2]I,' enough of 'the fight,'
?>enough of 'pre[G]vail' or 'walk in the [F]light'?"
?>While the angels stood [C2]by I got high as a kite,
?>too tired to [G]smile or know that I'm [F]right.

?>"enough 'you and [C1]I,' enough of 'the fight,'
?>enough of 'pre[G]vail' or 'walk in the [F]light'?"
?>When the spacecraft came [C2]down I was left on the ground.
?>Will you keep me a[G]round, will you help me sur[F]vive
>after my [G]time?
