Broken Wings 
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
 
Intro: Esus
 
        A 
These broken wings can take me no further
     Esus
I'm lost, and out at sea,
   E/G#       
I thought these wings would hold me forever
    G# 
And on to eternity,
E
And far away I can hear your voice,
       Bsus
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
 A
But these broken wings have let me down
Esus 
They can�t even carry me home.

In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you�re far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
 
B 
Or will you treat me like some traveller
      E
On a dark and lonely road,
    B 
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
        F#m
Oh and just when she reaches the part
                        A
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart
           F#m 
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on.
Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
A
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
     E 
Come back and carry me home.
