   F                Dm                F
Be close to me, but please don't ever love me

                        Bb             C   C7
Don't let your feelings carry you that far

     F
I'll hold you in my arms

        Bb                 G7
Buy you clothes and pretty charms

         F             C               F
And I'll give you everything except my love
[Chorus]
                F          Bb               F
Because there's   too many bridges to cross over

F          Bb             C
  Too many places I ain't been

             F          Bb                 F
Yeah there's   too many fields of tempting clover

        Gm           C               F
Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind
[Solo] F Dm F Gm C F [Verse 2]

Well 'traveling' was the nickname of my papa

                        Bb             C   C7
And Mama said he died 'cause he slowed down

        F
Keep in mind these things I'm saying

         Bb                    G7
'Cause I ain't got the time to staying

         F             C                   F
Won't be long until my shoes touch distant ground
[Chorus]
                F          Bb               F
Because there's   too many bridges to cross over

  Too many places I ain't been

             F          Bb                 F
Yeah there's   too many fields of tempting clover

        Gm           C               F
Like an eagle, I'm a prisoner of the wind
[Outro] F Dm F
