Thanks to Reddit users EdNauseam and RazzledCroaker for their help on the lyrics ! This is the version from the ’Jefferson Airplane Loves You’ best-of album out in 1992 ---------------------- [Intro] Amaj7  Gmaj7  x3 [Verse 1]      You once asked me what I wanted out of life Amaj7                            E7sus      Well I guess it’s just the life of laughter and smiles    E7sus To be Cinderella-man for a while But there’s so many miles I got to go Dmaj7                          E7sus       You once asked me what I wanted out of life Amaj7                            E7sus      Well I guess it’s just the white white of a light when you love me all night But this is brightness so dazzling my head must turn      You know my head must turn [Midtro] G  A  x2 [Chorus]      Things are better in the East they say      For a poet and his fevers    A fellow with all those fancy words His heartbreak and his favors [Verse 2] Amaj7                      E7sus I feel like a little white kitten reborn I’m very fond of fog but my sight is torn Amaj7                             E7sus I’d like to remember it just like this if I can : The rain the fog and the kiss you send            G6                             Aadd9        You know I love you just like you always wanted [Chorus]      I could protect you from the bells in the city      I was raised with forget-me-nots in my hair      Even if it ain’t true won’t you please take me with you ?      You’ve got moon on your side over there [Versend] Amaj7           E7sus Hey Lady Swan. Whatcha doin’ here ? How am I gonna write if you don’t live anywhere ? Amaj7                                  E7sus Just caught a flash of lightning as it photographed the sky           G6              Aadd9 You don’t mind. Oh my. Oh my.
