A boy leaving in the rain.

VERSE 1 (Enter on Held Chords Guitar Only)
Broken hearts and broken wings, G C
You told me it was the little things. Am Em C
And now that you are gone, G C
I’m not sure I can just go on. Am Em C

VERSE 2 (Basic Ensemble Enters)
All those things you’ve never done, G C
You did with me at the rising of the sun. Am Em C
I told you never to forget, G C
And what you gave me hasn’t left me yet. Am Em C

PRE-CHORUS
You could have carried me high, D A
Past the clouds that have darkened up my sky. C G
You left me to crash down to earth, D A
Why give me wings when they only hurt? C G

CHORUS
Why fly _______________________, D A
Why soar without you by my side? C G
Why fly _______________________, D A
Why feel the wind without your hand in mine. C G
Why fly _______________________.

Writing songs inside my mind, G C
Weaving words to hold you one more time. Am Em C
You were standing in the rain, G C
I was lost in the shadow of your pain. Am Em C

BRIDGE
And I know I will do it all again, F C
Flying in circles to where it all began. G Am
Could be different this time around, F C
You might catch me before I hit the ground. (Hold) G E

VERSE 4
You thought it would be all right. G C
You’d be sure when you laid down tonight. Am Em C
Perhaps tomorrow would mend my broken heart, G C
And give me wings to make a brand new start. Am Em C
