G                C     G                 C 
Fly away little bird, any place in this open-mouthed world 
G                      D                C                  D 
begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest 
G                    C       G                            C 
Everyone's got a need to go, most of us stick with our row to hoe 
         Em             D                       C                D 
but not you, you're the black crow, with a straight line, and no time, for the  
   C                D                G               C  
birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best, they  
  C                Am                D  
sent you on this course of your collision 
         G              D               C                D 
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say, I crossed the  
G                 D              Am                 D 
great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there  
         C                   D 
what a view, you went there too 
G                C              G                 C 
Fly away little bird, find the song in you that no one's heard 
G                             D              C                           D 
strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight, through this short life 
G                       C                 G                   C  
everyone's got a deep regret, we try to ground ourselves to forget 
          G                   D                 C              D 
but your race to the end is neck and neck, you love them, you love them not 
        C               D                G                C 
the birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best 
      C                 Am              D 
they sent you on this course of your collision 
        G               D               C                D 
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say 
                G               D              Am                D 
I crossed the great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there 
         C                   D 
what a view, you went there too 
     C              G                C                  G  
And all along your chosen path, are window panes and sheets of glass 
      C                  G 
that you won't see, you fly too fast 
     C              D  
one day it will be over 
G                 C          G            C  
Fly away little bird, the saddest song I ever heard 
         G                           D 
was the one that I wrote you in my heart 
            C               D  
that never made it to the world
