C                  F              Am
When I would play my song

F                  C      F
You used to sing along.

C              F             Am
I always seem to forget

F                F               C
How fragile are the very strong.

C           F          Am
I'm sorry I can't steal you

F          C          F
I'm sorry I can't stay

C             G#m              Am
So I put band-aids on your knees

F            F           C
And watch you fly away
Chorus:
F                  Am    F       C
I'm sending you away tonight

F                      Am             F
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing

F               Am        F                  C
I'm saving you the best way I know how

F                         F                     C
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
F                      G#m                    Am             C              F            C
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile back around again
