Tom: F
F F F F
[Verse 1]
F Bb
Someday I'll be so far away from all of you
Dm
All this and spoken ridicule
C
You'll never rule my life
Like the way that you used to
F Bb
I find I am much better off out on my own
Dm
Maybe a house but not a home
C
You'll wake to find I've changed my mind
Bb
I'm sorry but this bird has flown
[Pre-Chorus]
C
This bird has flown
[Chorus]
F
So let these fools run free
Bb
To be the ones they want to be
Dm
These chains, they're falling off all over me
C
My friends, I hope you get to see
F
That I don't need your pleas
Bb
And empty cold apologies
Your friends just haven't been
Dm
Real friends to me, it's time
C
For me to spread my wings
[Verse 2]
F Bb
I feel fine and feeling fine is good enough
Dm
I'm alone and though it may be rough
C
I can't lie, I'm free to fly, I don't belong to anyone
F Bb
Had a friend and I put you on a pedestal
Dm
I may be dumb but I'm no fool
C
So keep your throne, it's all you want
Bb
And all that you'll ever know
[Pre-Chorus]
C
This bird has flown
[Chorus]
F
So let these fools run free
Bb
To be the ones they want to be
Dm
These chains, they're falling off all over me
C
My friends, I hope you get to see
F
That I don't need you, please
Bb
And empty cold apologies
Your friends just haven't been
Dm
Real friends to me, it's time
C
For me to spread my wings
Bb Dm F
[Bridge]
Bb C
You will never be
F
Able to exam me
Bb
And clip these wings
And I know that
Bb C
All that I can see
F
Is the open sky
Bb
In front of me
Bb C
You will never be
F
Able to exam me
Bb
And clip these wings
And I know that
Bb C
All that I can see
F
Is the open sky
Bb
In front of me
[Chorus]
F
So let these fools run free
Bb
To be the ones they want to be
Dm
These chains, they're falling off all over me
C
My friends, I hope you get to see
F
That I don't need you, please
Bb
And empty cold apologies
Your friends just haven't been
Dm
Real friends to me, it's time
C
For me to spread my wings
