Play the song called to lips to fly
[G] [D] [A]
[D]
[G] won't [D] say I love you, babe
[G] Won't [D] say I need you, babe
But I'm [A] gonna get you babe, [Em] and I will not do [D] you wrong
[G]
living's [D] mostly wasting time and
[G] I waste my share [D] of mine
But it never [A] feels too [G] good.
So let's don't take [D] too long
We're [G] your [Bm] soft
[D] Disgust [G] and I'm a gentle [A] man
[D] We got the sky [A] to talk about [Em] and the world to [Bm] lie [D] on
[A] [G]
[D] [G]
Days up [D] and down they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most [A] remember some [Em] but don't turn [D] none away
[G] Everything [D]
is not enough and nothing [D] is too much to bear
Where you been [A] is good and [G] gone all you keep is the getting [D] there
[G] Well to live is to [D] fly [G] all low [A] and high
[D] So shake the dust [A] 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
It's time to go again
Think all the [A] poetry [G] in the picking down the [D] 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
Well, [G] I may Be [D] gone
[G] But it won't [A] be long
[D] I'll be a bringing back [A] 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 holes [D] are all this real and some fall on you [A] like a [Em] storm sometimes [Bm] you dig your [D] own
[G] But choice is [D] yours to make
Time is yours to take
Some [A] dive into the sea [F#] some toil upon [D] the stone
[G] We're two lives [D] to fly [G] all low [A] and high
[D] So shake the dust [A] off of your wings and [G] the sleep out of [D] your eyes
We're shake the dust [A] off of your wings [G] and the tears out of your [D] eyes
