To Live Is to Fly Chords by Townes Van Zandt

[D] _ _ _ Play this song called to lives to fly _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
[G] [D] won't say I love you, babe
[G] Won't say [D] I need you, babe
But I'm [A] gonna get you babe, [Em] and I will not do [D] you wrong
_ [G] _
[D] Living's mostly wasting time [G] and I waste my [D] share of mine
But it [A] never feels too [G] good.
So let's don't take too [D] long
[G] We're your softest [D] glass
[G] And I'm a gentle [A] man
And [D] we got the [A] sky to talk about and [G] the world to lie [D] on
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] Days up [D] and down they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most [A] remember [Em] some but don't turn none [D] away
_ [G]
Everything [D] is not enough and [G] nothing is [D] too much to bear
Where you [A] been it's good [G] and gone all you keep is the getting [D] there
[G] We're to live's to [D] fly [G] all low [A] and high
[D] So shake the dust [F#m] off of your [Em] wings and the sleep [D] out of your eyes
It's [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] goodbye [D] to all my friends
[Gm] It's [D] time to go again
Think [A] all the poetry in [G] the picking down [D] the line
_ [G]
I'll [D] miss the system here the bottoms low and the trebles clear
But it don't pay [A] to think too much [G] on things you leave [D] behind
[G] well, I may [D] Be gone
[G] But it won't [A] be long
[D] I'll be a bringing [A] back the melody [G] and the rhythm that I [D] find
We [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] [D] all got holes to fill
[G] And them [D] holes are all is real and some fall [A] on you like [Em] a storm sometimes [Bm] you dig [D] your own
_ [G] _
[D] Choice is yours to make
Time is yours to take
Some [A] dive into the sea [Em] some [Bm] toil upon [D] the stone
[G] We're to [D] live's to fly [G] all low [A] and high
[D] So shake the dust [A] off of your wings [G] and the sleep out of [D] your eyes
We're shake the dust [A] off of your [G] wings and the tears out of your [D] eyes
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [N] _
