Bent to Fly

[Intro]
F#m B 4x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
F#m B 2x


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


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


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


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


[Solo]
F#m B 4x


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


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

I can feel it coming

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