Bb/C
Bbmaj7/C  C7b9
 
[Verse]
Fmaj9               Em7
There are those who fly
         A7b9    Dm7
From the highest heights
       G9         Bbmaj7/C  C7b9
On the wings they carry-
Fmaj9               Em7
Searching for the high
         A7b9    Dm7
They can never find-
         G9      Cm7
Thinking love is blind.
      F7+5
Never mind.
Bbmaj7  C/Bb  Am7b5
They'll never see
    D7              Gm7
The forest for the trees
                  Bbmaj7/C  C7b9
'Til they turn to love.
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj9               Em7
Crying through the eyes
         A7b9    Dm7
Of my own disguise-
        G9       Cm7
Came to know the truth
         F7+5
From the lies
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbmaj9            C/Bb Am7   A7+5
So, I hope you'll understand how

I'm another kind of man now
Bbmaj7        Bm7 E7b9 Am7
All I want is just to stand

Don't wanna climb a mountain.

Don't wanna swim a river.
