Am      C
Oh Mother
    G
Oh Mother
          Dm
Can you hear me
               Am
When I cry at night
C   Am    C
Oh mother
   G
Oh mother
            Dm
If you can see me
                   Am    C
Please show me the light

[Chorus]
Am
'Cause ive forgotten how to fly
C
I've forgotten how to fly
Dm                        F
I've forgotten how to fly
Am
I've forgotten how to fly
          C
Standing on the edge of the sky
Dm                              F
Looking for the strength to try
Am                       C
Something is broken and my wings wont open
   Dm           F
I dont know why
                  Am
Forgotten how to fly
    C    Dm    F
fly, fly, fly
                  Am
Forgotten how to fly
    C    Dm    F
fly, fly, fly

[Verse 1]
Am
When did i put my happiness in the hands of others?
C
My peace of mind separate from the sky
G
When did I forget we could all be lovers?

He, she, xe, we, and I and
Dm
How could a bird so free

return to her cage without protest?
 Am
I know the little birdie she is me.
C
Maybe i just need some rest and
Am
I dont know, I dont know why
    C
The caged bird still sings and
G
I dont know, I dont know how

When she remembers everything
   Dm
Oh, quiet, quiet, please be quiet

I cant hear my thoughts
Am
Quiet, quiet, please be quiet

there goes another one lost and

[Chorus]

'Cause ive forgotten how to fly
C
I've forgotten how to fly
Dm                        F
I've forgotten how to fly
Am
I've forgotten how to fly
          C
Standing on the edge of the sky
Dm                              F
Looking for the strength to try
Am                       C
Something is broken and my wings wont open
  Dm            F
I dont know why
                  Am
Forgotten how to fly
    C   Dm     F
fly, fly, fly
                 Am
Forgotten how to fly
    C   Dm    F
fly, fly, fly

[Verse 2}
        Am
Can you hear me in a sea of voices?
   C
Can i hear me in my own head, I
Dm                                     F
hear the ghosts, the shadows of my choices drowning in my

words unsaid
  Am
I promise, I promise, from this day forward
C
I will be a better me, I
Dm
feel it, i feel it taking over
F
Remembering how to be free

[Outro]
