He raised his hand

For the last time she could stand
C Dm C
And the room was a grave that night
F C Dm C F
She left a note, it said "I'm not coming home"
C Dm C
It took courage, but she took flight
Am C F G
And what are you really holding onto?
Am C F G
Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends
Am C F G
It don't always move the way it ought to
Am C F G
But don't let the ground drag you around
F C
And these old wings
G
Have been a long time
Am
Been a long time coming
F C
These old wings
G Am
Just gotta be good for something
F C
Burn these strings
G Am
So I can see what these old
F C
Broken things
G Am
What these old wings can do

She sold the car for $1100 bucks
C Dm C
And a bottle of something sweet

And got off when she felt free
Am C F G

Old wings high

Where people go in gloom

For friends that are buried there
F C Dm C F
She wrote a note to God in a balloon
C Dm C
And watched as it disappeared
