Bent to Fly

[Intro]
G#m C# 4x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
G#m C# 2x


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


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


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


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


[Solo]
G#m C# 4x


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


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


[Outro]
D#
I can feel it coming

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