Expecting to fly
A ~
A Em - D E
1. There you stood on the edge
of your feather, expecting to fly,
A Em - D E - A
while
I laughed, I wondered whether I could wave goodbye,
D
G
knowin' that you'd gone.
Am D7 - G C
By the summer it was healing, we had said goodbye.
Am D7 - G C
All the years we'd spent with
feeling ended with a cry,
Em - Bm C
Em - Bm
A
Babe, ended with a cry, Babe, ended with a cry.
A Em D E
2. I tried so hard to stand as
I stumbled and fell to the ground.
A Em D E - A
so
hard to laugh as I fumbled and reached for the love I found,
D G
knowin' it was gone.
Am D7
- G C
If I never lived without you, now you know I'd die.
Am D7 -
G C
If I never said I loved you, now you know I'd try,
Em - Bm C Em - Bm C
Babe, now you know I'd try. Babe, now you know I'd try,
Em - G
Babe.
