Superman by Ivory Layne
Capo 3
[Intro]
G
(Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane
G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane)
[Verse 1]
G
What happened to the boy I knew?
G
He promised me his love was true
G
Supposed to be a man
G
But his little plan had fell through
[Verse 2]
G
The one who used to tell me jokes
G
Was popular with all my folks
G
Had everybody fooled ‘cause he was so cool
G
Now it's up in smoke
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G
What happened to my childhood dream
C G
Your language I no longer speak
Em G
How come you never talk to me?
C
My telephone never rings
Am Em
I wish I'd known that you would mean
C D
To let me go, I was oblivious
Am Em
You were up on a pedestal
C D
And I could not ring you in
[Chorus]
Am Em
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
C D
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
Am Em
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
C D
But you were caught in the clouds
C D G
And I was left on the ground
[Interlude]
G
(Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane
G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane)
[Verse 3]
G
What happened to the boy I knew
G
The one I thought had hung the moon
G
Supposed he was a man
G
But one stroke of his hand
G
And I'm painted blue
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G
What happened to my childhood dream
C G
Your language I no longer speak
Em G
How come you never talk to me?
C
My telephone never rings
Am Em
I wish I'd known that you would mean
C D
To let me go, I was oblivious
Am Em
You were up on a pedestal
C D
And I could not ring you in
[Chorus]
Am Em
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
C D
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
Am Em
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
C D
But you were caught in the clouds
Am Em
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
C D
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
Am Em
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
C D
But you were caught in the clouds
[Bridge]
Em C
You can't read the thoughts that form inside my head
D
And you aren't strong enough to save my soul from dead
Em C D
Then you can't keep my heart from being ripped to shreds
Em C
I was wrong to alter reality
D
I made you some superman you couldn't be
Em C
All this time, oh, I truly did believe
D
That you got caught in the clouds
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am Em
I wish you'd known that I would mean
C D
To fall in love, were you oblivious?
Am Em
You were high in the atmosphere
C D
I disappear below
[Chorus]
Am Em
But you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
C D
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
Am Em
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
C D
But you were caught in the clouds
Am Em
Oh, you fell short 'cause you needed lungs to breath
C D
And you can't fly, look with eyes like laser beams
Am Em
And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me
C D
But you were caught in the clouds, oh
[Outro]
G
You got caught in the clouds, oh
G
And I don't know myself now, no
G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane
G
Is it a bird or just a plane
G
Is it a bird or a plane
