Bent to Fly

[Intro]
Fm A# 4x


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


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


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


[Interlude]
Fm A# 2x


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


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


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


[Bridge]

I can feel it coming
C
A perfect storm is rising
C                          Fm
Gotta say my last goodbye
