I almost felt you [A] touching me just now
[E] I wish I knew which way [B] to turn and go
I feel so good [A] and then I feel so bad
[B]
I wonder what I ought to do
[A] [C#m] [A] If I could only fly, if [E] I could only fly
I'd bid this [B] place goodbye to [F#] come and [E] be with you
But [C#]
[A] I can hardly stand and [E] I got nowhere to run
[B] Another sinking sun [F#m] [B]
and one more [E] lonely night
The wind keeps blowing somewhere [A] every day
[E] Tell me things get better [B] somewhere up the way
It's dismal thinking on [A] a dismal day
[B]
Sad songs [E] for us to [A] bear

And [B]
I wish you could come with me [E] when I go again
