                           Poised for flight, wings spread bright
                       Fm/Bb                                    Bb15--> Fm lick

             Don't stop to run
         Cm                                        Fm                     (bc#2)--> Fm lick
             She can fly, like a lie she can't be undone


             Tell me the cost
             I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost
             Sell everything
             Without love day to day insanity's king

                           I will pay day by day
                           Any way: lock, bolt, and key

             Crippled, but free
             I was blind all the time I was learning to see
                                      *Solo*    (verse, chorus, verse...)

             Help on the way
             Well I know only this, I got you today
             Don't fly away
             Cause I love what I love, and I want it that way

                           I will stay one more day
                           Like I say, honey it's you

             Making it, too
             Without love in the dream it will never come true...
