A A D A I am afraid of bridges, sometimes I have to turn around D A When I'm driving towards one, my heart begins to pound D A Last night at the bridge to Johnsburg, I swerved down a dead end street D A I sat there shaking in an empty lot full of broken glass and weeds E D A Then past me in the darkness ran four wild dogs E D A leaping over abandoned tires, high into the air E D In the air, in the air, A someday I will live in the air
