Intro
D     G  2x

             D
He didn?t ask
             A
He didn?t pry
         Bm                D/F#             G
He just held the ice that covered my black eye
             D                  A
When that girl, she broke my heart
        Bm                   D/F#                    G
We just threw that baseball back and forth till dark
        A                       D/F#   G
When I started playing guitar, and didn?t have a clue
        A                       D/F#   G
He wanted to protect me, but somehow my father knew

Chorus
        D
That you can cry for
               A
live and die for
             Bm              D/F#                 G
You can help them find their wings but you can't fly for
           D                             A
Cause if they're not free to fall, then they're not free at all
                  Bm               D/F#                G
And though you just can't bear the thought of letting go

Pick em up?. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road

INTRO AGAIN

Verse 2
          D                    A
Little kiss, on a skinned up knee
              Bm              D/F#                G
From playing soccer, riding bikes, and climbing trees
           D                  A
When bad dreams, fill their heads
             Bm                 D/F#                 G
I chase the monsters out from underneath their beds
        A                   D/F#   G
Guess I always knew those days, would end
        A                       D/F#   G
But the hardest thing I've ever learned has been?

Chorus

You can help them find their wings but you can't fly for
           D                             A
Cause if they're not free to fall, then they're not free at all
                 Bm                D/F#           G
And though you just can't bear the thought of letting go
