Expecting To Fly

C
C
Gm
There you stood on the edge of your feather
F
G
Expecting to fly
C
Gm
While I laughed, I wondered whether
F
G
C
I could wave goodbye
F
Bb
Knowin' that you'd gone
Cm
F
By the summer it was healing
Bb
Cm
We had said goodbye
F
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Bb
Cm
Ended with a cry
Bb
Cm
Babe, ended with a cry
Bb
Cm
Babe, ended with a cry
C
Gm
I tried so hard to stand
F
G
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
C
Gm
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
F
G
C
And reached for the love I found
F
Bb
Knowin' it was gone
Cm
F
If I never lived without you
Bb
Cm
Now you know I'd die
F
If I never said I loved you
Bb
Cm
Now you know I'd try
Bb
Cm
Babe, now you know I'd try
Bb
Cm
Babe, now you know I'd try
Bb
Babe


Bluebird

D
G
D
Listen to my bluebird laugh
G
D
She can't tell you why
G
D
Deep within her heart you see
C
G
D
C
G
D
C
G
D
She knows only crying, just crying, yeah...
G
D
There she sits, a lofty perch
G
D
Strangest color blue
G
D
Flying is forgotten how
C
G
D
C
G
D
C
G
D
She thinks only of you, just you, aw...
D
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
C
G
And each is differently used, you just know
D
You sit there mesmerized, by the depth of her eyes
C
G
If you could could categorize, she's got soul
C
G
C
G
D
C
G
D
She got soul, she got soul, she got soul...
D
Do you think she loves you?
C
D
Do you think at all?
G
D
Soon she's going to fly away
G
D
Sadness is her own
G
D
Fill herself a bath of tears
C
G
D
D
And go home, and go home
