Lyrics
(D)I
fol low the night,
can’t stand the (D)light.
When
(Gm6)will I be (D)gin
to live a (D)gain?
One day I’ll (Gm6)fly a (D)way,
leave all this to (Em7)yes ter day.
What more could your love (Gm)do for me?
(C)When will love be (Bbm)through with (F)me?
Why live life from (Gm)dream to (C)dream, and (C#dim7)dread the (Dm)day when (Bb)dream
(A)ing
(Gm)ends?
One day I’ll (Bbm)fly a (F)way,
leave all this to (Gm)yes ter day.
Why live life from (Bbm7)dream to (Eb)dream, and (Fm)dread the day when (Db)dream
(C)ing
(Fm)ends?
One day I’ll (Gm6)fly a (D)way,
(Gm6)fly,
fly, a (D)way.
