This is pretty much as close as it's gonna get
it's hard to find tabs for this song online for some
reason. It's such a great song ^___^
For those of you that  want to play it, aren't 
familar with some of the chords, and are thinking
you don't have anywhere near enough fingers for chords
such as Gm, F, and Bb... it's really simple. You have to 
bar the chords. Just simply place your pointer finger across 
all the strings in the first fret for the F chord, and so on 
like with Bb you'd do the same and Gm would be the 5th fret. 
If the note sounds funky, you're not pressing hard enough. 
Don't worry, you'll get it. I figured 'em out and got 
'em soundin' good after a few hours time. 
Anyway, that pretty much covers it. Enjoy

 Dm          Bb
Down to the earth I fell
 F
with dripping wings
 C
Heavy things won't fly
 Dm                Bb
And the sky might catch on fire
 F                 C                  Bb
And burn the axis of the world that's why,
              Gm
I prefer the summer sky
 Bb                    Gm            C   Am
To the glittering and stinging in my eye

 Dm Bb  F       C
 I --  feel so light
 Dm     Bb     F       C
this is all I want to feel tonight
 Dm Bb  F       C
 I--   feel so light
 Dm Bb           F          C
tonight and the rest of my life

gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
floating there breathlessly
when the dream dissolves I open
up my eyes I realize that
everything is shoreless sea
weightlessness is passing over me

I feel so light
this is all I want to feel tonight

I feel so light
tonight and the rest of my life
tonight and the rest of my life--

 Bb            Gm
Everything is wasted stars
 Bb              Gm           C  Am
The universe is resting in my arms

Dm A   Bb  F
I feel so light
Dm       A     Bb           F
this is all I want to feel tonight
Dm A   Bb  F
I feel so light
Dm   Bb          F        C
tonight and the rest of my life

I feel so light
this is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
tonight and the rest of my life
tonight and the rest of my life
