Bent to Fly

[Intro]
C#m F# 4x


[Verse]
C#m
Mama, don't you cry
F#
Don't you worry
C#m                     F#
I cannot stay here any longer
C#m                   
  The time has come to
     F#
find a distant calling
C#m              
  That only seems
             F#
to get much stronger


[Pre-chorus]
E                    G#
And I know it's hard
                        
  To see the one you come
    F#
to lean on make his way
      A
Far beyond the womb
     E       B
But, I can't stay


[Chorus]
  C#m
I won't stop running
                 F#
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             C#m   F#
ground this time
     C#m                 
  The sky is calling, the
               F#
wind is at my shoulders
                              C#m  F#
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  C#m
Mama, I'm bent to fly


[Interlude]
C#m F# 2x


[Verse]
C#m
Remember yesterday
F#
Before the storm
C#m                       F#
Before the innocence was lost
C#m                 
  I promised I would
     F#
stay for evermore
C#m                            F#
But every boy, in time, moves on


[Pre-chorus]
E                              G#
Your wounds will heal someday
                   
  This I know, but I
    F#
am restless and so torn
      A                E  B
Mama, I can't stay here anymore


[Chorus]
  C#m
I won't stop running
                 F#
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             C#m   F#
ground this time
    C#m                  
  The sky is calling, the
               F#
wind is at my shoulders
                              C#m    F#
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  G#
Mama, I'm bent to fly


[Bridge]
G#
I can feel it coming
G#
A perfect storm is rising
G#                          C#m
Gotta say my last goodbye


[Solo]
C#m F# 4x


[Verse]
C#m
Mama, don't you cry
F#
Don't you worry
C#m                     F#
I cannot stay here any longer


[Chorus]
  C#m
I won't stop running
                 F#
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             C#m   F#
ground this time
     C#m                 
  The sky is calling, the
               F#
wind is at my shoulders
                              C#m    F#
Won't let this chance pass me by
                      C#m       F#
But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh
                  C#m     F#
Mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah
C#m                  F#
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
C#m             F#
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!


[Outro]
G#
I can feel it coming

A perfect storm is rising
                            C#m~
I gotta say my last goodbye...
