[verse]
G
In the presence of a few, I exhibited a power
     C                    G
That no one had ever seen before
        G
On a secluded moonlit dune, I arose above the sand
    C                   G
And hovered there for a while


[chorus]
      Am                 D
I was frightened.  I was scared.
                Bm             Em     Am7 G/B C
My friends were silent as they stared.


[verse]
     G
As I floated in the air, I could not feel the wind
           C                                                 G
Though the bells on the boats on the bay were banging in the breeze


[chorus]
         Am                   D       
I wasn’t frightened. I wasn’t scared. 
       Bm                     Em
I’d forgotten my friends were there
      Am7 G/B C
Until I came down

[verse]
      G
Later on, all that night, I could not sleep at all
                C                     G
Thought I heard voices from the other tents.
G
What would happen the next day?
G
What would all of my friends say?
      C                    G
I got up and waited by the fire.


[chorus]
Am                      D
I was frightened. I was scared.
         Bm             Em     
Until my friends each appeared
Am7 G/B C     Am7 G/B C 
One by one, into the sun.

[bridge]
    G    D               G
And they sat me down and smiled
       D               Em
And we talked a little while
      Am7   G/B  C        Am7 G/B  C       D  Dsus4
And I heard each say that it would be OK. Okay.


[verse]
G
As years pass, memories change. Perhaps they all forgot
C                 G
Or wrote off as a dream
    G
But sometimes on a humid night, I will go out for a walk
         C                            G
And find places that no one else will be


[chorus]
         Am                D
When I’m certain No one’s around, 
       Bm                Em     Am7 G/B C
I will lift off from the ground.
