Intro
| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 |

| G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      | G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      |


Verse 1
G           Gadd9
 Out on the edge of darkness
Gmaj7     G6            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Children waited for sunrise
G               Gadd9
 Something they could believe in
Gmaj7         G6                 G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Something to see with their own eyes
Cmaj7           C6
 Their moms and dads remembered
G               D      C         G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
'Cause they had seen a different time
D
 A time of sunny mornings
Am                C           G   D/F#   Em   C   D
 Walking to school and saving dimes


Verse 2
G            Gadd9
 And yet the leaves are falling
Gmaj7        G6               G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Gathered in piles to burn outside
G             Gadd9
 Somehow the smoke is calling
Gmaj7        G6            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Somehow the embers will decide
Cmaj7           C6
 That's not the way of being
G             D            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 It's not the way of being now
D
 Too much has changed around us
Am                   C        G   D/F#   Em   C   D
 But we can bring it back somehow

| G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      | G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      |


Verse 3
G          Gadd9
 I need to talk to someone
Gmaj7         G6                G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Someone who smiles and answers back
G           Gadd9
 Someone as old as I am
Gmaj7        G6              G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Who still remembers some of that
Cmaj7
 I dream a way of living
G         D               G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 A way of sharing what we find
D
 A way of walking slowly
Am            C               G   D/F#   Em   C   D
 Through the smokey leaves of time

Verse 4
G            Gadd9
 When I woke up this morning
Gmaj7      G6           G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 I heard a melody and a rhyme
G           Gadd9
 I knew the song was over
Gmaj7  G6                G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 But I couldn't find the time
G               Gadd9
 The words just tumbled forward
Gmaj7    G6             G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 In this second song of mine

| G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      | G       | Gadd9   | Gmaj7   | G6      |


Verse 5
G              Gadd9
 Drifting in a sea of darkness
Gmaj7        G6            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 The captain waited for sunrise
G                 Gadd9
 Thought he saw a mermaid comin'
Gmaj7    G6                 G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Off the bow and rubbed his eyes
Cmaj7
 Thought he saw a distant glowin'
G          D               G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Songbirds playin' in the sky
D                                    Am
 But his eyes were playin' tricks on him
       C                  G   D/F#   Em   C   D
In his heart, he wondered why

Verse 6
G                  Gadd9
 Cross town at the incubator
Gmaj7      G6            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Eggs were hatchin' everywhere
G                  Gadd9
 Those birds would soon be flyin'
Gmaj7             G6                   G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 They knew that's when they'd feel the air
Cmaj7
 We won't remember them
G                D               G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
'Cause we're the ones who didn't care
D
 Now when we think of them
Am             C               G   D/F#   Em   C   D
 We hear their songs sung everywhere


Verse 7
G                Gadd9
 The world needs all her song birds
Gmaj7          G6            G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 She needs her music in the sky
G                   Gadd9
 Guiding souls both in and out
Gmaj7    G6              G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Showing weakness how to fly
Cmaj7
 Not like that TV show
G             D                G   Gadd9   Gmaj7   G6
 Not like the words on channel five
D
 Somethin' that makes you smile
Am              C         G   D/F#   Em   C   D
 Somethin' that makes you fly
