Bent to Fly

[Intro]
A#m D# 4x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
A#m D# 2x


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


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


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


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


[Solo]
A#m D# 4x


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


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

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
