I can't stand to fly 
  Am           F
I'm not that naive 
C		  G
I'm just out to find 
  Am               F
The better part of me 
		 C			 G
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane 
              Am              F
More than some pretty face beside a train 
         C       G   F  C
It's not easy to be me 
C                  G
Wish that I could cry 
 Am            F
Fall upon my knees 
C              G
Find a way to lie 
 Am                     F
About a home I'll never see 
                C                   G
It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve 
        Am             F
Even Heroes have the right to bleed 
               C                      G
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede 
         Am            F     
Even Heroes have the right to dream 
          C      G  F  C
It's not easy to be me 
Up, up and away...away from me 
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight 
I'm not crazy...or anything... 
C                 G
I can't stand to fly 
 Am            F
I'm not that naive 
C                     G
Men weren't meant to ride 
 Am                         F
With clouds between their knees 
            C                   G
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet 
        Am                        F
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street 
        C		    G
Only a man in a funny red sheet 
        Am                   F
Looking for special things inside of me 
          C     G   F  C
It's not easy to be me.
