Verse
C
No bother, climb to it, and call out canary
Am
Don't worry, just grab it, it's something, abuse it
C
My vision, a forest, a lot here to carry
Am
Slide over and bite it, the apple and berry
C
The volume and the riot, the smell of the lions
Am
The sunsets behind me, the bullets start flying
Pre-Chorus
C/E F C
Flying a kite in a world of ruin
Am F G
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
We're ready to begin
Chorus
C/E F C
It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost
I've been played, I ain't that clever
Am F
A city boy that can never say never
G
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf
C Am
Verse

The image, the session, a poet is sleeping

The courier, the pilot, antennas, and sirens
Am
That college, like thieves that can eat with the wolfpack
Pre-Chorus

Flying a kite in a world of ruin

Setting a sun and the hearts are burning

Leaving the nest to the back of a thousand winds
We're ready to begin

It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve
Academy killer
Am F G
Off with his head in the make believe game of fools
That girl bites like a wolf
