Bent to Fly

[Intro]
Gm C 4x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
Gm C 2x


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


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


[Chorus]
  Gm
I won't stop running
                 C
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Gm   C
ground this time
    Gm                  
  The sky is calling, the
               C
wind is at my shoulders
                              Gm    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                          Gm
Gotta say my last goodbye


[Solo]

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


[Chorus]
  Gm
I won't stop running
                 C
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the

ground this time
     Gm                 
  The sky is calling, the
               C
wind is at my shoulders
                              Gm    C
Won't let this chance pass me by
                      Gm       C
But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh
                  Gm     C

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Gm             C
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
