Chris de Burgh – Broken Wings (Guitar)

        E    F#m       E/G#        A 
These broken wings can take me no further

     E         B  A   E     Esus
I'm lost, and out at sea,

   E             F#m        E/G#       
I thought these wings would hold me forever

    E     B    A G# 
And on to eternity,

A       E/G#        A          E
And far away I can hear your voice,

       A              E/G#           Bsus
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,

 B         E      F#m          E/G#  A
But these broken wings have let me down

E/G# F#m        F#m7/B      E   Esus - E - Esus 
They can't even carry me home.

         E    F#m       E/G#        A 
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping

     E         B  A   E     Esus
I remember all the things I said,

   E             F#m        E/G#  
Well I've broken all the promises I said I would be keeping,

         E     B          A G# 
They're gone, like leaves they fell,

A       E/G#        A          E
For it's so hard when you're far away,

       A              E/G#           Bsus
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,

 B         E      F#m          E/G#  A
Now these broken dreams have woken me,

E/G# F#m        F#m7/B      E   Esus - E - Esus 
My love, will you carry me home.

E Esus        B 
Or will you treat me like some traveller

      A       E/G#       E
On a dark and lonely road,

    F#m        E/G#     A             E/G#     F#m7   B 
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,

        E                           F#m
Oh and just when she reaches the part

                        E/G#               A
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart

           E         F#m                    B   A -  E/G# - F#m 
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on.

A       E/G#        A          E
Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong

       A              E/G#           Bsus
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,

 B         E      F#m          E/G#  A
Take me back, my love, I need you now,

E/G# F#m        F#m7/B      E   Esus - E - Esus 
Come back and carry me home,

E                 D          C#m        A
Take me back and heal these broken wings,

     F#m      F#m7/B    E  F#m  E/G#   A - E - B - A - E 
Come back and carry me home.
