Dm
Mama, don't you cry
G               F 
Don't you worry
Dm                     G       F
I cannot stay here any longer
Dm                       G                  F
The time has come to find a distant calling
Dm                          G        F
That only seems to get much stronger



[Pre Chorus]
F (open chord), A, G, Bb, F, C

F                    A
And I know it's hard
(A)                         G
To see the one you come to lean on make his way
       Bb
Far beyond the womb
      F       C
But, I can't stay


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                  G
I'm only getting closer
                                Dm   G
To getting off the ground this ti......me
    Dm                                 G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm  G                
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
                   Dm
Mama, I'm bent to fly



Repeat Verse progression x 2


[Verse]
Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost
I promised I would stay forevermore
But every boy, in time, moves on



[Pre Chorus]
Your wounds will heal someday
This I know, but I am restless and so torn
Mama, I can't stay here anymore


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                  G
I'm only getting closer
                                Dm   G
To getting off the ground this ti......me
    Dm                                 G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm    G                
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
                   A
Mama, I'm bent to fly



[Bridge] (Strum an A chord with occasional G bass note embellishments. Sounds pretty good.)

A                    G
I can feel it coming
A                       G
A perfect storm is rising
A                       A G F E Dm
Gotta say my last goodbye...


[Solo] (Verse progression)

G               F 
Don't you worry
Dm                     G       
I cannot stay here any longer...


[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
                  G
I'm only getting closer
                                Dm   G
To getting off the ground this ti......me
    Dm                                 G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
