I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one-way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me

Piano arranged for solo guitar
------------------------------

This guitar arrangement of the piano part is not exactly like the song, I just
took the basic piano melody and added some arpeggios and syncopated notes so
it was easy to play on guitar, while keeping the original feel of the song.
