If I Could Only Fly

Intro:
D    A7    D

D                                G
 I almost felt you touchin' me - just now
D                            A
 I wish I knew which way to turn and go
D                      G
 I feel so good and I feel so bad
A                     D
 Wonder what I oughta do


G
 If I could only fly
D
 If I could only fly
A
 I'd bid this place goodbye
D
 To come and be with you
G
 But I can hardly stand
D
 Got nowhere to run
A
 Another sinkin' sun
D
 One more lonely night


The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day
Sad songs for us to bear

If I could only fly
If I could only fly
Then I could be with you

You know sometimes I write happy songs
Other times little things are wrong
You know I wish they all could make you smile
Tomorrow maybe we can get away
I'm coming home soon and I want to stay
I wish you could come with me when I go again

If I could only fly
If I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye
To come and be with you
But I can hardly stand
Got nowhere to run
Another sinkin' sun
One more lonely night

If I could only fly
If You could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights
