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

Listen to my bluebird laugh
G
D
She can't tell you why
G
D
Deep within her heart you see
C

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
