Capo 2 
 
 
C5                             F5 
I almost felt you touchin' me just now 
C5                           G5 
I wish I knew which way to turn and go 
C5                     F5 
I feel so good and I feel so bad 
G5                    C5 
Wonder what I oughta do 
 
 
  F5 
If I could only fly 
C5 
If I could only fly 
            G5 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
              C5 
To come and be with you 
  F5 
But I can hardly stand 
C5 
Got nowhere to run 
         G5 
Another sinkin' sun 
               C5 
One more lonely night 
 
 
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day 
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way 
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day 
Sad songs for us to bear 
 
If I could only fly 
If I could only fly 
Then I could be with you 
 
You know sometimes I write happy songs 
Other times little things are wrong 
You know I wish they all could make you smile 
Tomorrow maybe we can get away 
I'm coming home soon and I want to stay 
I wish you could come with me when I go again 
 
If I could only fly 
If I could only fly 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
To come and be with you 
But I can hardly stand 
Got nowhere to run 
Another sinkin' sun 
One more lonely night 
 
If I could only fly 
If You could only fly 
If we could only fly 
There'd be no more lonely nights
