If I Could Only Fly

Capo 2 (optional)

INTRO
I V I IV I

[VERSE]
C F
I almost felt you touchin' me just now
C G
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
C F
I feel so good then I feel so bad
G C F C
Wonder what I oughta do

[CHORUS]
F
If I could only fly
C
If I could only fly
G
I'd bid this place goodbye
C
To come and be with you
F
But I can hardly stand
C
Got nowhere to run
G
Another sinkin' sun
C F C
One more lonely night

[VERSE]
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day
Sad songs for us to bear

[BREAK]

[VERSE]
You know sometimes I write happy songs .. but then sometimes little things are wrong
You know I wish they all could make you smile
Tomorrow maybe we can get away .. I'm coming home soon and I want to stay
I wish you could come with me when I go again

[CHORUS]
If I could only fly
If I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye
To come and be with you
But I can hardly stand
Got nowhere to run
Another sinkin' sun
One more lonely night

[OUTRO]
If I could only fly
If you could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights
