Capo 2 
 
 
C                             F 
I almost felt you touchin' me just now 
C                           G 
I wish I knew which way to turn and go 
C                     F 
I feel so good and I feel so bad 
G                    C 
Wonder what I oughta do 
 
 
  F 
If I could only fly 
C 
If I could only fly 
            G 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
              C 
To come and be with you 
  F 
But I can hardly stand 
C 
Got nowhere to run 
         G 
Another sinkin' sun 
               C 
One more lonely night 
 
 
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day 
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way 
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day 
Sad songs for us to bear 
 
If I could only fly 
If I could only fly 
Then I could be with you 
 
You know sometimes I write happy songs 
Other times little things are wrong 
You know I wish they all could make you smile 
Tomorrow maybe we can get away 
I'm coming home soon and I want to stay 
I wish you could come with me when I go again 
 
If I could only fly 
If I could only fly 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
To come and be with you 
But I can hardly stand 
Got nowhere to run 
Another sinkin' sun 
One more lonely night 
 
If I could only fly 
If You could only fly 
If we could only fly 
There'd be no more lonely nights
