A#                  Gm                        Dm
All the east coast blue bloods have come out west
       A#                Gm               Dm       F
And I watch them argue about who loved you the best
          D#               Gm
I was conspicuously of my kind
     D#                           Dm
Overdressed, but woefully under-refined
            D#                      A#
Well‚ the story held together like boulders
                  Dm    F
with a piece of twine

Chorus:
D#
Three helicopters circling
A#            F   D
Retreating and returning
D#                    F       Gm
Your photographs were on the news
           C7               D#maj7 Gm
And I was there just out of view

I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head
With a mind in retreat to the places
I wished I would've been
When you caught my gaze‚ I turned away
Planned an exit like a grand escape
As I watched you spinning through
the revelers like a cheap ballet

Chorus:
These words all sound familiar
Convictions are forever
You tied a wish to a balloon
Watched it fly into the blue

              F         Gm    C7
But you will find some day soon
             D#
That it will fall
              F            D#maj7  Gm
Yes‚ it will fall, they all do

                D#maj7 Gm
Because they all do
                D#maj7 Gm
Because they all do
        D#maj7 Gm
They all do
                 D# F Gm
Because they all do
