Tom: C
C
Summer night, we were seventeen
G
When she said “I love you but baby I’m leaving
C F
Come tomorrow you come and see me when you can.”
C
We had some times, yeah we had some life here
G
Remember driving all through the night
C
And we would talk like someday
F
We'd stop somewhere and make it home
C G Am G F
But time rolls on, and it’s time that I let you
[Chorus]
F C
Some will run back while some run free
Am G
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and
F C F
They used to say if you love someone let her fly
C G C
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
[Verse 2]
C
One less weekend, one less picture
G
One less day-trip to laugh about later and
C F Am
One more moment that takes you farther out from me
F C G
They say that distance can grow your heart
C F G
But every day spent away just makes you feel farther
[Chorus]
F C
Some will run back while some run free
Am G
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and
F C F
They used to say if you love someone let her fly
C
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
[Bridge]
C
I won’t say, I won’t say, can’t you just stay, don’t fly away
[Chorus]
F C
Some will run back while some run free
Am G
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and
F C F
They used to say if you love someone let her fly
F C
Some will run back while some run free
Am G
Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and
F C F
They used to say if you love someone let her fly
C
All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight
F C G C
There’s one less bii-i-i-i-rd in this lonely cage tonight
