 Intro:    FF   C majorC   x 4


FF   C majorC       DmDm
 He raised his hand
     C majorC          FF
 For the last time she could stand
     C majorC     DmDm     C majorC
 And the room was a grave that night
FF   C majorC     DmDm     C majorC       FF
 She left a note, it said "I'm not coming home"
     C majorC      DmDm    C majorC
 It took courage, but she took flight

A minorAm         C majorC       FF   G+G
 And what are you really holding onto?
A minorAm     C majorC           FF         G+G
 Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends
A minorAm        C majorC        FF    G+G
 It don't always move the way it ought to
      A minorAm    C majorC   FF     G+G
 But don't let the ground drag you around


    FF    C majorC
 And these old wings
    G+G
 Have been a long time
     A minorAm
 Been a long time coming
  FF    C majorC
 These old wings
G+G        A minorAm
 Just gotta be good for something
 FF      C majorC
 Burn these strings
G+G     A minorAm
 So I can see what these old
  FF    C majorC
 Broken things
    G+G    A minorAm
 What these old wings can do

FF   C majorC     DmDm   C majorC    FF
 She sold the car for $1100 bucks
    C majorC     DmDm      C majorC
 And a bottle of something sweet
FF   C majorC      DmDm   C majorC       FF
 She caught a train and counted seven stops
   C majorC       DmDm     C majorC
 And got off when she felt free

A minorAm         C majorC       FF   G+G
 And what are you really holding onto?
A minorAm     C majorC           FF         G+G
 Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends
A minorAm        C majorC        FF    G+G
 It don't always move the way it ought to
      A minorAm    C majorC   FF     G+G
 But don't let the ground drag you around


    FF    C majorC
 And these old wings
    G+G
 Have been a long time
     A minorAm
 Been a long time coming
  FF    C majorC
 These old wings
G+G        A minorAm
 Just gotta be good for something
 FF      C majorC
 Burn these strings
G+G     A minorAm
 So I can see what these old
  FF    C majorC
 Broken things
    G+G    A minorAm
 What these old wings can do


A minorAm  C majorC  FF  G+G
  Flyyyyyyyyyyy
A minorAm  C majorC  FF  G+G
  Flyyyyyyyyyyy
   A minorAm  C majorC  FF
  Flyyyyyyyyyyy
  G+G  FF   G+G
  Old wings high

FF   C majorC      DmDm
 She found herself
    C majorC       FF
 Where people go in gloom
    C majorC       DmDm    C majorC
 For friends that are buried there
FF   C majorC     DmDm  C majorC      FF
 She wrote a note to God in a balloon
   C majorC      DmDm  C majorC
 And watched as it disappeared

A minorAm         C majorC       FF   G+G
 And what are you really holding onto?
A minorAm     C majorC           FF         G+G
 Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends
A minorAm        C majorC        FF    G+G
 It don't always move the way it ought to
      A minorAm    C majorC   FF     G+G
 But don't let the ground drag you around


    FF    C majorC
 And these old wings
    G+G
 Have been a long time
     A minorAm
 Been a long time coming
  FF    C majorC
 These old wings
G+G        A minorAm
 Just gotta be good for something
 FF      C majorC
 Burn these strings
G+G     A minorAm
 So I can see what these old
  FF    C majorC
 Broken things
    G+G    A minorAm   FF
 What these old wings can do

 FF  C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  x 4
