  			verse 1: 

          B              C#             B          C# 
Did you think that your feet had been bound 
           B       C#            B        C# 
By what gravity brings to the ground? 
         G#m            E 
Did you feel you were tricked 
         G#m        E 
By the future you picked? 
               B      C#     B     C# 
Well, come on down 

           G#m         E 
All those rules don't apply 
            G#m          E 
When you're high in the sky 
             B      C# 
So, come on down 
         B 
Come on down 



              F#           C# 
We're coming down to the ground 
             F#            C# 
There's no better place to go 
           F#             C# 
We've got snow up on the mountains 
           F#           C# 
We've got rivers down below 
              F#          C# 
We're coming down to the ground 
             F#                C# 
We hear the birds sing in the trees 
          F#               C# 
And the land will be looked after 
             F#               C# 
We send the seeds out in the breeze 

verse 2: 

(B  C#)(x2) 

          B            C#           B        C# 
Did you think you'd escaped from routine 
    B            C#               B        C# 
By changing the script and the scene? 

G#m              E 
Despite all you made of it 
        G#m      E 
You're always afraid 
        B        C#     B      C# 
Of the change 
              G#m         E 
You've got a lot on your chest 
               G#m        E 
Well, you can come as my guest 
             B      C# 
So come on down 
          B 
Come on down

Bridge: 
                      B 
Like the fish in the ocean 
                        C# 
We felt at home in the sea 
                           B 
We learned to live off the good land 
                       C# 
Learned to climb up a tree 
                       B 
Then we got up on two legs 
                C# 
But we wanted to fly 
                       B 
When we messed up our homeland 
                     C# 
We set sail for the sky 

              F#           C#

We've got rivers down below 
              F#          C# 
We're coming down to the ground 
             F#                C#

And the land will be looked after 
             F#               C# 
We send the seeds out in the breeze 

              F#        C# 
We're coming down 
                 F#       C# 
Coming down to Earth 
                F#       C# 
Like babies at birth 
                 F#       C# 
Coming down to Earth 
                    F#       C# 
We're gonna find new priorities

These are extraordinary qualities
