Intro: E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE G# minorG#m
    E MajorE G# minorG#m F#F#

     E MajorE
Were you drifting
   G# minorG#m
On a strange tide?
E MajorE
Collecting visions
G# minorG#m
From the other side?
        E MajorE
Caught between day and night
     G# minorG#m
You were stealing moments past hours
F#F#
Of your life

And balancing on
       E MajorE
The edge of a knife
   G# minorG#m        E MajorE
Memories of once longer days
       G# minorG#m
They keep on flooding back
  E MajorE
The adventurous times when we
G# minorG#m
Traveled life's road
        F#F#
Though we were often blind
      C# minorC#m
But with a lot more heart
  E MajorE       F#F#
And for each other
      BB
Taking the time
   E minorEm
On a wing and a prayer
 BB          E MajorE
A augmentedA wounded bird in the hand
           F#F#
With the eyes of a child
   BB     E MajorE
Come to understand
         F#F#
I will open the book
      BB
Raise the pen
     E MajorE
Let it reinvent
  BB
My life again
          F#F#
Take me from where I am

As a freed bird
E MajorE
Flies from the hand
        F#F#
To ascend, to ascend

(E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE G# minorG#m)

     E MajorE
Were you catching
         G# minorG#m
The last train to nowhere?
E MajorE
Playing out scenes
  G# minorG#m
Of dark desert days?
    E MajorE
Put it behind you now
G# minorG#m                F#F#
Call out those bleak shadows from your mind

And never again
         E MajorE
Slip through the cracks
  G# minorG#m         E MajorE
Memories of once longer days
           G# minorG#m
They keep on flooding back
    E MajorE
The adventurous times when we
G# minorG#m
Traveled life's road
        F#F#
Though we were often blind
      C# minorC#m
But with a lot more heart
  E MajorE        F#F#
And for each other
      BB
Taking the time
   E minorEm
On a wing and a prayer
     BB      E MajorE

          F#F#
