[Verse 1]
Gm
  Little lady sittin' there
Bb             Fm                          Bb
  World at her fingers while she combs her hair
Eb        Dm7         Cm7            C7    Bb
  Lookin' through the mirror lost in wonderland
Gm              Cm      C
  Uncomfortable in her skin
F                      Bb
  Pick a color, to box her in
     C Dm7  Cm7        F  Bb
Too scared, to let the fire burn

[Chorus]

         Gm7
So I say, oh, don't
Just a minute
F
It won't be long
           Bb         Eb Dm Cm7
Just a minute 'til you fly
        Gm7
Oh oh oh
So I say, oh, don't
Gm       G
  Just a minute
F
It won't be long
               Bb      Eb  Cm
Just a minute 'til you fly
        Gm
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Gm
Wish I could could tell ya
Gm
Who breaks your heart
F                                 Bb    Eb    Bb Cm   Bb
 Or the grass is greener when you don't wanna a boy
Gm
   See life, will bring you down
F                  Bb    Eb Gm   Cm  Bb
  But your fire is blazing' out

[Chorus]

          Gm
So I say, oh, don't
Just a minute
F
It won't be long
       Bb             Eb    Cm
Just a minute til you fly
        Gm
Oh oh oh
          Gm
So I say, oh, don't
Gm
Just a minute
F
It won't be long
               Bb      Eb  Dm Cm
Just a minute 'til you fly
        Gm
Oh oh oh
C                   C7
  Little bird, it's time
D7                  Dm7
  Wings spread open wide
Gm7      C7    Ab          Gm
   Daddy said, walk on the wild side
