"Paper Wings"



G		D			       C

One last thing I beg you please just before you go

G			D			      C

I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round the world

C	   G		   D				   C

Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down

G		   D				C

landed somewhere far from here with no one else around

D

to catch you falling down

D			C

and I'm looking at you now



     G	     Em		D

and I can't tell if you're laughing

   G	           Em	    C			

between each smile there's a tear in your eye

C               G	        Em		D

there's a train leaving town in an hour

D	G	  Em	  C

it's not waiting for you, and neither am I



G		D			       	C

"Swing for the fences son" he must have told you once

G		D		       	C

that was a conversation you took nothing from

C	        G		    D				C	

so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done

G		D				C

just put off another day of knowing where you're from



     G	     Em		D

and I can't tell if you're laughing

   G	           Em	    C			

between each smile there's a tear in your eye

C               G	        Em		D

there's a train leaving town in an hour

D	G	  Em	  C

it's not waiting for you, and neither am I



C	G	           D

is this the life that you lead?

D          Em	      C 	

or the life that's lead for you?

G		D	           Em	C

will you take the road that's been laid out before you

G		D   C	                        Em  C

will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else...



     G	     Em		D

and I can't tell if you're laughing

   G	           Em	    C			

between each smile there's a tear in your eye

C               G	        Em		D

there's a train leaving town in an hour

D	G	  Em	  C

it's not waiting for you, and neither am I
