(Capo 1st fret)

 D                              C             G
  It makes sense that it should happen this way
           Em                        G
  That the sky should break, and the earth should shake
     D          F                        C              G          D
  As if to say, sure it all matters, but in such an unimportant way
            C       G        A
  As if to say, hey hey-aa-ay


Chorus

        D Dsus2       D       A   
  Fly away,     sweet bird of prey
       Bm
  Fly, fly away
             G
  Nothing can stand in your way
        D    Dsus4 D         A
  Sweet bird,       if you knew the words
                    C    G    A
  I know that you'd say, fly, fly away



 D                              C              G
  It makes sense that it should hurt in this way
          Em                         G    
  That my heart should break, and my hands should shake
     D          F                       C                 G          D
  As if to say, sure it don't matter except in the most important way
           C        G        A
  As if to say, hey hey-aa-ay



       D Dsus2       D       A   
  Fly away,    sweet bird of prey
       Bm
  Fly, fly away
         G
  I won't stand in your way
        D    Dsus4 D         A
  Sweet bird,       if you knew the words
                    C     G    A A7 Bm     G  D  C  G  Em  A
  I know that you'd say, fly, fly away
  


 D                              C           G
  It makes sense that it should feel this way
           Em                  G
  That you slowly fade and yet still remain
     D          F                     C         G          D
  As if to say, everything matters in such an invisible way
           C          Em    A    G      D C G D x2
  As if to say, it's okay, fly away...
