Bent To Fly

Dm
Mama, don't you cry
G               F
Don't you worry
Dm                     G       F
I cannot stay here any longer
Dm                       G                  F
The time has come to find a distant calling
Dm                          G        F
That only seems to get much stronger

F                    A
And I know it's hard
(A)                         G
To see the one you come to lean on make his way
       Bb
Far beyond the womb
      F       C
But, I can't stay

  Dm
I won't stop running
                  G
I'm only getting closer
                                Dm   G
To getting off the ground this ti......me
    Dm                                 G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm  G
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
                   Dm
Mama, I'm bent to fly

Dm
Remember yesterday
G               F
Before the storm
Dm               G        F
Before the innocence was lost
Dm               G               F
I promised I would stay forevermore
Dm                 G         F
But every boy, in time, moves on

F                      A
Your wounds will heal someday
A                       G
This I know, but I am restless and so torn
Bb               C
Mama, I can't stay here anymore

  Dm
I won't stop running
                  G
I'm only getting closer
                                Dm   G
To getting off the ground this ti......me
    Dm                                 G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm    G
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
                   A
Mama, I'm bent to fly

A                    G
I can feel it coming
A                       G
A perfect storm is rising
A                       A G F E Dm
Gotta say my last goodbye...
