🎸 Verse 1:
      C majorC       FF
There were storms on the highway
   A minorAm       FF
As I drove from her town
      C majorC         FF
But there's nothing that could make me
A minorAm    FF
Turn back round
     G+G          DmDm
For I had dreams shine like a light
          FF       C majorC
And I watched them go off in the night
   G+G            DmDm
I had beauty fall apart in my hands
   FF          C majorC
I had lies I'll never understand

🎸 Verse 2:
        C majorC       FF
The touch of a child kept me sane
        A minorAm          FF
Through all the dark years I took her rage
      C majorC       FF
For being abandoned and afraid
    A minorAm      FF
Falling prey to evil ways
     G+G        DmDm
I thought love would be a cure
      FF     C majorC
But I was a fool to endure
      G+G       DmDm
For I'd be free free as a bird
      FF        C majorC
If I could get the wings to work

It don't get easy the further you go
       A minorAm          Bb majorBb
And it takes longer to get on the road
     DmDm         Bb majorBb
I can't imagine what kind of chain
    FF     C majorC
Kept me down in a cave

       C majorC       FF
Well I don't mean to sound bitter
    A minorAm        FF
For in truth I won't forget her
    C majorC         FF
All the suffering and the effort
   A minorAm       FF
Never meant we'd be together
       G+G      DmDm
And the only thing to be learned
      FF    C majorC
Is how much pain can burn
      G+G     DmDm
For I'd be free as a bird
      FF        C majorC
If I could get the wings to work

I wish there was something she could fix
    A minorAm      Bb majorBb
For herself I did my best
    DmDm      Bb majorBb
But the strain on my soul
        FF      C majorC  G+G
Was dragging me down into a hole

🎸 Verse 4:
    DmDm     FF
I'll be free in the world
    C majorC      G+G
I'll be free in the world
    DmDm        FF
When I get the wings to work

I'll be free
    DmDm         FF
Once I get these wings to work

These wings to work (free in the world)
