(Verse 1)

D
Dad’s in his car
Am
Mom’s in a dress
G
You spilled the tea

On your Sunday best
D
She said: I love you
Am7
But it’s just not right
G
Now you turned eighteen

With a broken mind

D F
You had to learn to lie
G
To be honest
D F
You had to learn to fly
G
To get somewhere

D
Had to sit up straight
Am7
Hide your sin
G
Cause they won’t forgive you

Like the other kids
D
You said: should I change
Am7
who I am
G
For this little town
Full of big old heads

D F
You had to learn to cry
G
To be feel something
D F
You had to learn to fly
G
To get somewhere

[Chorus]
D C
So take your neon shoes
G Em
To the city
D C
When the trumpet sounds
G
At least you’ll look pretty
Em D C
You’re going hi-igh
G
Just fly, boy
Em D C
Enjoy the ri-ide
G
Skyboy

[Verse 2]
D
You fell in love
Am
with a bitter guy
G
He broke you down

And he took your smile
D
You got it wrong,
Am7
But you’ll get it right
G
You got to trust yourself
Em
And keep your head up hi-igh

[Chorus]
D C
So take your neon shoes
G Em
To the city
D C
When the trumpet sounds
G
At least you’ll look pretty
Em D C
You’re going hi-igh
G
Just fly, boy
Em D C
Enjoy the ri-ide
G
Skyboy

[Bridge]
Bm

A
And if you cant find heaven
G Bm
Just make your own paradi-dise
A G Bm
Your hapiness is worth the sacrifi-ice
Gm
Just fly

[Chorus]
D C
So take your neon shoes
G Em
To the city
D C
When the trumpet sounds
G
At least you’ll look pretty
Em D C
You’re going hi-igh

Just fly, boy
Em D C
Enjoy the ri-ide

So take your neon shoes to the city…
