Bm                               C                     G
I heard a street singer play a song I knew,
Bm         Bm/Bbm/Am           G
And it brought me closer to you.
Bm                               C                                     
  G/Am/Bm
I heard a street singer play a song I called my own,
                     Bm/Bbm/Am               G
That brought be to my childhood home.
        C      C/B     C/A   G                       
D/Dsus4/D
Did you     go       back from where you came?
        C   C/B   C/B         G              D/Dsus4/D
If I    get there will they have my name?
           C      C/B       C/A   G            D/Dsus4/D
If they don't I'll only have myself to blame.
       C  G       D/Dsus4/D
For all these things,
Am   C                              G
True happiness is having wings.
Bm                                        C                                 G
Life is a gury eyed, heavy hearted, whirlwind of a storm.
Bm              Bm/Bbm/Am                    G
Something they just hurt too much to cry.
Bm                                                     C               
                G     G/Am/Bm
Memories are like shadows, the light won't make them disappear
        Bm/Bbm/Am                            G
So I still see you smiling with your eyes.

So did you go back from where you came?
If I get there, would they have my name?
If they don't I'll only have myself to blame,
For all these things,
True happiness is having wings
