[Intro]
Dm C Bb Bb
Dm C Bb Bb
[Verse 1]
C Dm Bb
As I stand here before you
C Dm Bb
There's not much left to say
C Dm Bb
I have known for a while you'd be leaving
F C
I won't ask you to stay
Dm C Bb
Oh but I hope your road is one of laughter
Dm C Bb
'Cause it's the sweetest sound I have known
F C Dm Bb
I'll keep your cage forever after
Gm Bb
Even though I know
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
This bird has flown
Dm C Bb
This bird has flown
[Verse 2]
C Dm Bb
You always said I was a dreamer
C Dm Bb
Guess I thought you were one too
C Dm Bb
Now you're gone but I'm still dreaming
F C
All my dreams are still of you
Dm C Bb
Oh I still see you, walking down the aisle
Dm C Bb
All dressed in white with flowers in your hair
F C Dm Bb
And I try to stay there for a while
Gm Bb
'Cause I know that when I wake up
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
You won't be there
Dm C Bb
You won't be there
[Verse 3]
C Dm Bb
So I turn to higher powers
C Dm Bb
Like all desperate men do
C Dm Bb
And I pray to a god I don't believe in
F C
To deliver me from you
Dm C Bb
But fateless prayers are rarely answered
Dm C Bb
Just as well I'm already on my knees
F C Dm Bb
I'm just another doubting Thomas
Gm Bb
A disciple who can't believe
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
Until he sees
Dm C Bb
Until he sees
[Verse 4]
C Dm Bb
Now you are somewhere across the waters
C Dm Bb
I am still in London town
C Dm Bb
And I know all my way past St. Stephen's
F
That the rain (that the rain)
C
The rain's (that the rain)
Still coming down
Dm C Bb
Oh that the rain is never-ending
Dm C Bb
In these borrowed days that spring finds hard to trust
F C Dm Bb
I guess the rain was trying to tell us
Gm Bb
Love left untended
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
