Verse
D                  A              Bm
When I would play my song

G                  D      A
You used to sing along.

D              A             Bm
I always seem to forget

G                A               D
How fragile are the very strong.

D           A          Bm
I'm sorry I can't steal you

G          D          A
I'm sorry I can't stay

D             Bbm              Bm
So I put band-aids on your knees

G            A           D
And watch you fly away
Chorus:
G                  Bm    A       D
I'm sending you away tonight

G                      Bm             A
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing

G               Bm        A                  D
I'm saving you the best way I know how

G                         A                     D
I hope again one day to hear you sing
(same as above) Verse: You know we're not so far away Get on a boat, get on a train And if you ever think you're drowning I'll try to slow the rain In two years or so Drop me a line Write me a letter I hope to find you're doing better, better than today, better everyday Chorus: I'm sending you away tonight I'll put you on a bird's strong wing I'm saving you the best way I know how I hope again one day to hear you sing I'm saving you the only way that I know how I hope again one day to hear you sing
G                      Bbm                    Bm             D              G            D
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile back around again
