[G] [D] [A] [D] .
[G] I 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, [G] and I will not [D] do you wrong.
[G] Livin's [D] mostly wasting [G] time, and I [D] waste my share of mine, but it [A] never feels too [G] good, so let's don't [D] take too long.
[G] For you're soft [D] as glass, [G] and I'm a gentle [A] man, [D] we got the sky [A] to talk about, [G] and the world to [D] lie upon.
[A] [G] [D] [G] The days [D] up and down they come, [G] like [D] rain on a concrete drum, forget [A] most, remember some, [G] but don't turn [D] away.
[G] Everything [D] is not enough, [G] and nothing is [D] too much to bear, where you've [A] been is good and [G] gone, all you keep's [D] forgetting there.
[G] Well to [D] live's to fly, [G] all low [A] and high, [D] so shake the [A] dust off of your [G] wings, and sleep out [D] of your eyes.
[A] .
[G] [D] [G] It's goodbye [D] to all my [G] friends, it's [D] time to go again, but think [A] all the poetry, [G] and the picking [D] down the line.
[G] Well I miss [D] the system here, [G] the bottom's [D] low and the trouble's clear, but it don't pay [A] to think too much [G] on things you leave [D] behind.
Well [G] I may [D] be gone, but [G] it won't [A] be long, I'll [D] be a-bringing [A] back the melody [G] and rhythm that I [D] find.
[A] [G] .
[D] [G] We all [D] got holes to fill, [G] and them holes [D] are all that's real, and some fall on [A] you like a storm, [G] sometimes you do [D] your own.
[G] But choice [D] is yours to make, [G] time [D] is yours to take, some dive [A] into the sea, some [G] toil upon the [D] stone.
Well to [G] live's to [D] fly, [G] all low [A] and high, [D] so shake the dust [A] off of your wings, [G] and sleep out of your [D] eyes.
Oh shake the dust [A] off of your wings, and [G] tears out of your [D] eyes.
