I Take My Wings Off You

Marie Bergmann


Tom: G

G                 Bm
Yes I have abandoned you
G                                Bm
Yes I left you feeling black and blue
          C
With your alcoholic
              Bm
deep neurotic tendencies
                   C
your little fluffy clouds
                                D
can I be excused  oh you should let me go by now

[Verse 2]
G
  I'm ashamed
       Bm
I was ashamed of you
G                              Bm
 Of all the crazy thing's that you  would do
             C
the way you traded independence
      Bm
for a kiss or two
                          C
you thought that you were loved

for a second in the limelight
         D
you'd do anything at all

[Chorus1]
              G
so now you're falling off the
Bm              C             D
ground into the great unknown
           G              Bm
yeah after all the silent years
               C             D
you're finally on the show
           Em              Bm
so no more calling late at night
              C
no hard words on the phone
                           Am
'cause now I take my wings off you
                C        D
I take my wings off you


[Verse 3]
G
   I'm afraid
        Bm
I was afraid of you
G                                  Bm
   But could I've stopped you from falling through
             C
Through your happy days
                Bm
Unhappy days depression days

              C
I was on your side

Never found the perfect thing's to say but
D
 at least I tried

[Chorus2]
              G            Bm              C           D
it seems like I am loosing someone  I have never known 
        G                   Bm
So many things you've never said
                  C            D
And things you've never shown
              Em
I hope you've changed I hope
       Bm                C
You've learnt and I sure hope  you've grown
                           Am
'cause now I take my wings off you
                C
I take my wings off you
    D
Off you
    E    Bm   E   Bm   C    D
Off you

[Chorus1]
               G
so now you're falling off the
Bm              C              D
ground into the great unknown
        G                   Bm
So many things you've never said
                  C            D
And things you've never shown
              Em
I hope you've changed I hope
        Bm               C
You've learnt and I sure hope you've grown
                           Am
'cause now I take my wings off you
                 C
I take my wings off you
    D
Off you
    E
Off you
