C   F   Am   F  x2



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

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

🎸 Bridge:
             Am                   F
It don't get easy the further you go
             Am                   Bb
And it takes longer to get on the road
         Dm                  Bb
I can't imagine what kind of chain
        F         C
Kept me down in a cave

🎸 Verse 3:
             C             F
Well I don't mean to sound bitter
       Am               F
For in truth I won't forget her
        C                 F
All the suffering and the effort
      Am              F
Never meant we'd be together
             G           Dm
And the only thing to be learned
            F        C
Is how much pain can burn
           G         Dm
For I'd be free as a bird
           F                C
If I could get the wings to work

🎸 Instrumental:
Bb  F

🎸 Bridge:
                 Am                  F
I wish there was something she could fix
       Am            Bb
For herself I did my best
        Dm           Bb
But the strain on my soul
                F           C   G
Was dragging me down into a hole

🎸 Verse 4:
        Dm          F
I'll be free in the world
        C           G
I'll be free in the world
       Dm               F
When I get the wings to work
        C    G
I'll be free
       Dm                 F
Once I get these wings to work
               C                 G
These wings to work (free in the world)
        Dm               F
(When I get the wings to work)
 C             G
(Free) I'll be free
        Dm               F
(When I get the wings to work)
