Bent to Fly

[Intro]
Dm G 4x


[Verse]
Dm
Mama, don't you cry
G
Don't you worry
Dm                     G
I cannot stay here any longer
Dm                   
  The time has come to
     G
find a distant calling
Dm              
  That only seems
             G
to get much stronger


[Pre-chorus]
F                    A
And I know it's hard
                        
  To see the one you come
    G
to lean on make his way
      A#
Far beyond the womb
     F       C
But, I can't stay


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                 G
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Dm   G
ground this time
     Dm                 
  The sky is calling, the
               G
wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm  G
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  Dm
Mama, I'm bent to fly


[Interlude]
Dm G 2x


[Verse]
Dm
Remember yesterday
G
Before the storm
Dm                       G
Before the innocence was lost
Dm                 
  I promised I would
     G
stay for evermore
Dm                            G
But every boy, in time, moves on


[Pre-chorus]
F                              A
Your wounds will heal someday
                   
  This I know, but I
    G
am restless and so torn
      A#                F  C
Mama, I can't stay here anymore


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                 G
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Dm   G
ground this time
    Dm                  
  The sky is calling, the
               G
wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm    G
Won't let this chance pass me by
                  A
Mama, I'm bent to fly


[Bridge]
A
I can feel it coming
A
A perfect storm is rising
A                          Dm
Gotta say my last goodbye


[Solo]
Dm G 4x


[Verse]
Dm
Mama, don't you cry
G
Don't you worry
Dm                     G
I cannot stay here any longer


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                 G
I'm only getting closer
                   
  To getting off the
             Dm   G
ground this time
     Dm                 
  The sky is calling, the
               G
wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm    G
Won't let this chance pass me by
                      Dm       G
But mama, I'm bent to fly, oh, oh
                  Dm     G
Mama, I'm bent to fly, yeah
Dm                  G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Dm             G
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah!
