Intro: E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE G# minorG#m
E MajorE G# minorG#m F#F#
E MajorE
Were you drifting
G# minorG#m
On a strange tide?
E MajorE
Collecting visions
G# minorG#m
From the other side?
E MajorE
Caught between day and night
G# minorG#m
You were stealing moments past hours
F#F#
Of your life
And balancing on
E MajorE
The edge of a knife
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Memories of once longer days
G# minorG#m
They keep on flooding back
E MajorE
The adventurous times when we
G# minorG#m
Traveled life's road
F#F#
Though we were often blind
C# minorC#m
But with a lot more heart
E MajorE F#F#
And for each other
BB
Taking the time
E minorEm
On a wing and a prayer
BB E MajorE
A augmentedA wounded bird in the hand
F#F#
With the eyes of a child
BB E MajorE
Come to understand
F#F#
I will open the book
BB
Raise the pen
E MajorE
Let it reinvent
BB
My life again
F#F#
Take me from where I am
As a freed bird
E MajorE
Flies from the hand
F#F#
To ascend, to ascend
( E MajorE G# minorG#m E MajorE G# minorG#m )
E MajorE
Were you catching
G# minorG#m
The last train to nowhere?
E MajorE
Playing out scenes
G# minorG#m
Of dark desert days?
E MajorE
Put it behind you now
G# minorG#m F#F#
Call out those bleak shadows from your mind
And never again
E MajorE
Slip through the cracks
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Memories of once longer days
G# minorG#m
They keep on flooding back
E MajorE
The adventurous times when we
G# minorG#m
Traveled life's road
F#F#
Though we were often blind
C# minorC#m
But with a lot more heart
E MajorE F#F#
And for each other
BB
Taking the time
E minorEm
On a wing and a prayer
BB E MajorE
A augmentedA wounded bird in the hand
F#F#
With the eyes of a child
BB E MajorE
Come to understand
F#F#
I will open the book
BB
Raise the pen
E MajorE
Let it reinvent
BB
My life again
F#F#
Take me from where I am
As a freed bird
E MajorE
Flies from the hand
