[Intro]
C Em F F (2X)
[Verse]
C
Was it love or recognition that
Em
has healed this man's condition
F
I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
G
this bird won't fly away
C
We can see life hand in hand,
Em
the green, the blue, the rough, the sand
F
And in our time and in our land
G
we'll savor everyday
[Chorus]
Am C Em
And oh, how our glory may fade away, well
F
at least we've learned
G
some things along the way
[Verse]
C
You took me from my bubble
Em
knowing my defense was weak
F
And you sat there and you listened
G
any time I chose to speak
C
you gathered from my pleas to
Em
you that I am but a clown
F G
And I fear only a hero can defeat
these demons now
[Chorus]
Am C Em
And oh, how our glory may fade away, well
F
at least we've learned some
G C
tricks of trade
Em F F C Em F F
Am C Em
And as time shall inevitably move on, mmmmh well then
F
at least we'll have four strong
G
legs to stand on
C
To keep us alive...
