Fm            D#              G#  A#
Cody says he didn't start the fire
Cm           A#               G#
His parents know he probably did
Fm            D#           G#    A#
He's always playing with a light
Cm          A#                G#
He's just a different kind of kid
    Fm            D#              G#   A#
And Cody says He didn't raise the dead
Cm       A#              G#
Says "religion's just a trick
Fm             D#              G#    A#
To keep hard-working folks in line."
Cm          A#                G#
He says it makes his stomach sick

Chorus:
    Fm           D#      G#
So who's gonna carry us away?
C#            G#           A#m
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
D#                          C#          G# 
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
 D#            G#              C#         G#   D#   G#
Pour down the mountain like a heavenfed stream

Cody's always got one on the line
He likes to walk 'em by the wrist
He does his pulling with his eyes
He does his talking with his fists
Bottle rockets on an August night
Raid the coolers in the trucks
If we're lucky, we'll get loud and we'll drink
Whiskey from a plastic jug

Chorus:
So who's gonna carry us away?
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
Fall from the firmament and give us nice things

            C#      G# D#
Round and round it goes
           C#     G#      A#m
Where it stops, nobody knows,
        Fm
nobody knows

Chorus:
So who's gonna carry us away?
Eagles with glory-painted wings?
We keep on waiting for the miracle to come
Roll down the mountain to the sound of sad strings

 D#         G#              C#   G#   D#   G#
We keep on waiting for the miracle
         C#   G# 
For the miracle
 D#         G#              C#   G#   D#   G#
We keep on waiting for the miracle
         C#   G#  D# G#
For the miracle
