Cm7                    F
I got your dreams completely
Cm7                     F
I've got them locked away
    Dm           A#      Gm     C7     D#
And that doesn't mean I own you or control a hair
        Fsus4  F
Of your sweet head

I won’t leave you to suffer
I won’t let them prevail
I know a trap door, shortcut
Gate into the wilds of the free air

Chorus:
A#                 D#sus2
Lying here in the sweet Sahara
A#                     Fsus4    F
Thousand miles to the nearest problem
Gm                      C
I see you sleep, it's amazingly sweet
        D#                         Fsus4 F
I will keep you safe, I'll be your pi - lot

It’s tough to become a grown up
Put it off while you can
I tell you that when you land in the real world
It’s like quicksand

Grabbing for what is owed you
Crying for what is gone
Playing the game to look and feel and think
The same as the next child

Chorus

Lying here with a busted engine
Sun and sky and the sound of silence
I feel your presence, no, it doesn't make sense
You can sign me up, I’ll be your pilot

Chorus

Lying here with a busted engine
Sun and sky and the sound of silence
I feel your presence, no, it doesn't make sense
You can sign me up, I’ll be your pilot
