Intro: E5 - F#5 - E5 - A5 - E5 - F#5 - E5 - E5
 
        E5    F#5       E5        A5 
These broken wings can take me no further
     E5         B5  A5   E5     E5
I'm lost, and out at sea,
   E5             F#5        E5       
I thought these wings would hold me forever
    E5     B5    A5 Ab5 
And on to eternity,
A5       E5        A5          E5
And far away I can hear your voice,
       A5              E5           B5
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
 B5         E5      F#5          E5  A5
But these broken wings have let me down
E5 F#5        F#5      E5   E5 - E5 - E5 
They can�t even carry me home.
 
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you�re far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
 
E5 E5        B5 
Or will you treat me like some traveller
      A5       E5       E5
On a dark and lonely road,
    F#5        E5     A5             E5     F#5   B5 
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
        E5                           F#5
Oh and just when she reaches the part
                        E5               A5
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart
           E5         F#5                    B5   A5 -  E5 - F#5 
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on.
Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
E5                 D5          C#5        A5
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
     F#5      F#5    E5  F#5  E5   A5 - E5 - B5 - A5 - E5 
Come back and carry me home.
