CAPO III

[INTRO]

G  A7  C  D  G  D

[VERSE]

    G                             A7
You gave me back my soul again by showin' me
    C                D              G    D
The laughter and the wonder in your eyes
G                                 A7
Saved me from the shuttered man I used to be
C                D             G    D
   Opened up the windows of my life

[VERSE]

        G                             A7
And the happiness you've given me for lovin' you
   C                D              G    D
Is sweeter, love, and deeper every day
G                                    A7
I can't stop the changes that you're growin' through
   C                D               G       D
Or someone new from   stealin' you away, so darlin'

[CHORUS]

          G             C                 G/D                  C
When it's time, you can spread your wings     and I'll set you free
   G             D
To fly away, and it's okay
               G            C          G/D                    C
'Cause darlin' time changes everything     but it won't change me
  G               D
I love you, oh, I love you

  C                 D                      G    D
I pray your freedom makes your dreams come true
   G                                   A7
As long as there's a heartbeat in this soul of mine
