Testo

[Verse 1]
A Bm C#m A Bm
C#m  A                Bm C#m A   Bm
   A stranger in white   in a car
C#m  A         Bm C#m A Bm
Going somewhere
C#m  A   Bm C#m D E
Going far
A                        Bm        C#m     A     Bm C#m
How it must feel to go racing wherever you please
A                       Bm             C#m       A     Bm C#m
Flying as free as a bird  with his tail   in the breeze
A                       Bm            C#m   A   Bm C#m
Even the fish in the sea  must be longing to fly
A                            Bm          C#m       A Bm C#m
Catching a glimpse of a stranger in white   racing by

[Chorus]
    A
Oh, gods Oh, gods
D
        E
Are you there?
A                       D
What can I do To get you
                      E
to look down and give in?
    A
Oh, gods Oh, gods
D
       E
Hear my prayer
      D
I’m here in the field
With my feet on the ground
           D
And my fate in the air
E                         A
Waiting for life to begin!

[Verse 2]
A                       Bm         C#m        A   Bm C#m
Mama's contented and Tonton accepts   what he gets
A                          Bm            C#m         A   Bm C#m
Happy for tea in their cups  and no holes   in their nets
A                           Bm           C#m
Happy to have what they have  and to stay   where they
A  Bm
are
C#m A                      Bm            C#m     A  E A
    They never even look up  at the sound   of a car

[Bridge]
  F
A stranger
Racing down the beach
Racing to places
I was meant to reach!
My stranger!
One day you’ll arrive
     D#
Your car will stop
And in I’ll hop
               F
And off we’ll drive

[Interlude]
        C#m   F#m
We’ll drive!
C#m F#m    A
       Oh, gods
        D
Oh, gods
          E
Please be there
A                            D                     E
Don’t you remember your little Ti Moune from the tree?
     A
Wake up!
          D
Look down!
       E
Hear my prayer!
        D
Don’t single me out
               D   D#
And then forget me!

[Chorus]
    A#
Oh, gods Oh, gods
D#
       F
Let me fly!
A#                        D#                  F
Send me to places where no  one before me has been
    A#             D#       F
You spared my life;  show me why
You get me to rise like a fish to the bait
Then tell me to wait
Well, I’m waiting
                      A#
Waiting for life to begin!

[Outro]
Waiting for life to begin!
