Fly away little bird, any place in this open-mouthed world
G D C D
begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest
G C G C
Everyone's got a need to go, most of us stick with our row to hoe
Em D C D
but not you, you're the black crow, with a straight line, and no time, for the
C D G C
birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best, they
C Am D
sent you on this course of your collision
G D C D
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say, I crossed the
G D Am D
great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there
C D
what a view, you went there too
G C G C
Fly away little bird, find the song in you that no one's heard
G D C D
strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight, through this short life
G C G C
everyone's got a deep regret, we try to ground ourselves to forget
G D C D
but your race to the end is neck and neck, you love them, you love them not
C D G C
the birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best
C Am D
they sent you on this course of your collision
G D C D
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say
G D Am D
I crossed the great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there
C D
what a view, you went there too
C G C G
And all along your chosen path, are window panes and sheets of glass
C G
that you won't see, you fly too fast
C D
one day it will be over
G C G C
Fly away little bird, the saddest song I ever heard
G D
was the one that I wrote you in my heart
C D
that never made it to the world
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
