F       G             A7
Danger bird he flies alone
F                 G                A7
And he rides the wind back to his home
F             G                    A7
Although his wings have turned to stone

Chorus:
C    D Em       D     C
And we used to be so calm
C   D  Em             D        C
Now I think about you all day long.
C       D      Em        D        C
'couse you've been there all day long.
C      D  Em       D     C
There you are and here I am.

The jailbird takes the rap
And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks
But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast

Chorus:
And I know we should be free
But freedom's just a prison to me
(With the rain pounding on his back)
(He recalls that moment when he cracked)
'Cause I lied to keep it kind
(Long ago in the museum with his friends)
When I left you far behind
(And like those memories
The rain keeps pounding
Down, down, down)

And though these wings have turned to stone
I can fly, fly, fly away
Watch me fly above the city
Like a shadow on the sky

 Em    D    C D
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
