Chicosci — When Flight Is Denied

Tuning: Drop C  
 
Intro: C D C D C D C F - A 
 
 D  
searching for reason 
 C  
we're guided 
we follow 
 D                       C  
a desperate longing for light 
                  intro 
"Let me go they say" 
 
 D  
She stays still 
 C  
She sheds a tear 
 D  
in her dreams the world is better 
 C  
without her 
 D  
an open wrist 
 C  
calls even stronger 
 D  
no amount of healing 
 C  
will ever make it better 
 
Refrain:
 A                G  
yes there is an underside 
 A                     G  
but it's beautiful as well 
 
Chorus:
                        C D C D C D C F - A (2x) 
just don't kiss it goodbye 
                 C D C D C D C F - A (2x) 
just open your eyes 
C D C D C D C F - A 
you'll see that we have wings 
C D C D C D C F - A 
greater than anything you can imagine 
C D C D C D C F - A 
don't kiss it goodbye 
 
 D  
he lights a match 
 C  
he's hoping 
he's wishing 
 D                             C  
he'll burn out sooner than it will 
 D  
days go by 
 C  
same hours 
the same life 
 D                             C  
the same nothing he's had for years
