Intro: G

      Em              D             G
There was a time when I would have followed you
Em     Em7         C
To the end of the earth
Am                        Em
I was willing to share it all with you
D
The love, the hurt
      Em                  D                 G
I've seen you when your dreams were falling in the dust
Em                     Em7       C
But I never stopped believing in you
Am                             Em
I always thought our love was strong enough
          F               A
One you could hold on to

     D            A
You never see it coming
          G  
You just let it fly
    A      D    A        G     Bm7  A
On silent wings, silent wings
D         A                  A7       G  
You can't hide what you you feel inside
         G       D          Em7
And the fire has left your eyes
C9           G
On silent wings

   Em           D                G
I see us in our dreams and we're dancing
Em       Em7          C
I can almost hear the song
Am                         Em
But the prayers, they go unanswered
D
But we both know, we're just hanging on

  Em                D                    G
I feel ashamed, but I'll never know the reason why
Em                     Em7                  C
The rug was pulled so gently from under my feet
Am                          Em
I only know that something good has died
         F                           A
Between you and me, oh it's just a memory

     D            A
You never see it coming
             G  
You just go separate ways
    A      D    A        G    Bm7  A
On silent wings, silent wings
D               A     A7     G 
There's no more promises to break
       G         D      Em7
Or our love has slipped away
            C      
On silent wings


(from the solo on the last choruses are one note higher!!)

     E            B 
You never see it coming
                 A 
But you know it has to end
    B      E    B        A    C#   B
On silent wings, silent wings
E      B            Bm7   A  
I will never be the same again
            A      E      B     
I feel the whisper of the wind
          A9   
On silent wings

E
