Verse:

C		  G
I can't stand to fly
C	       F
I'm not that naive
C		G
I'm just out to find
     C             F
The better part of me

                 C			G
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
		F
More than some pretty face beside a train
          C      G   C
It's not easy to be me

C                  G
Wish that I could cry
C             F
Fall upon my knees
C             G
Find a way to lie
         C               F
About a home I'll never see

	        C		    G
It may sound absurd...but don't be nieve
	F
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
	    C			    G
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
      F
Even Heroes have the right to dream
          C      G   C
It's not easy to be me

Am         E	   C        G         C		G
Up, up and away...away from me Well It's all right...
	C		  Am  
you can all sleep sound tonight
	  F            G
I'm not crazy...or anything...

C                G
I can't stand to fly
C             F
I'm not that naive
C                    G
Men weren't meant to ride
C			  F
With clouds between their knees

	   C			G
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
		F
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
C	G        C	   G
Only a man in a funny red sheet
	    F
Looking for special things inside of me
          C      G  C
It's not easy to be me


Have fun :-)
