[C]Off and over the waves [G]in a town far out of the way
In his [Em]mind he’s already made it, he’s [D]Daft but always elated and
[C]Heard he’s tippin’ away somewhere [G]Off away in the clouds, ah sure
[Em]He was a kid telling tall tales he’s [D]probably still telling tall tales and
[C]Has one thing on his mind and it [G]calls to him like a siren
His [Em]head is always a ways off shore [D]After some dream that he begged God for
[G]Day darkens and [C]so does the [G]road [Em]Not all of fortune is [D]silver and gold

[C]Maybe you found the spot on the map But [G]lost the kid on the way to the mark

Now tell me “now, [C]where’s the head in the clouds?”

Now [C]tell me you found one to [G]have and to hold
‘cause [Em]here there be monsters Be[D]lieve that, just trust me I [C]know [G] [Em] [D]

Saying [D]“how'd you get so [Em]fake”
[C]Off and over the waves In a [G]town entirely fake
In [Em]his mind he should be elated Now, [D]don’t tell me that you’re jaded lad
[C]Heard he’s tipping away somewhere [G]Probably telling his tall tales and
[Em]Doing a job that he begged God for [D]Don’t be forgettin’ to thank God for…
