    Expecting To Fly

    Emily Haines

D                      Am
There you stood on the edge of your feather
G            A
Expecting to fly
D                Am
While I left, I wondered whether
G                A D
I could wave goodbye
G                  C
Knowin' that you'd gone

Dm            G
By the summer it was healing
C              F
We had said goodbye
Dm                   G
All the years we'd spent with feeling
C           F
Ended with a cry

F         Em        Dm
Babe, ended with a cry
F         Em        Dm  D
Babe, ended with a cry

D          Am
I tried so hard to stand
     G                        A
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
D          Am
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
    G                      A   D
And reached for the love I found
G              C
Knowin' it was gone

Dm         G
If I never lived without you
C               Dm
Now you know I'd die
           G
If I never said I loved you
C               Dm
Now you know I'd try

F              Em     Dm
Babe, now you know I'd try
F              Em       Dm
Babe, now you know I'd try
Em
Babe
