         E                             A          E

I got two broken wings and I can’t fly

E                                       B

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

E                                      A                       E

I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

E                                                B

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home

 

E                             A     E                                                 B

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time since I looked in the eyes of a friend

E                             A     E                                                      B

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time – I thought my quest would never end

 

E                                                A                  E

The only way to bring me down is fill me full of holes

E                                          B

But you can’t stop my soaring soul

E                      A                E

Here I go – I’m flyin' to the sun

E                              B

And I’m not the only one

             E                                  A                 E

There’s many people here you’ve never seen before

E                                                B

You never really cared enough to open up your doors

 

E                             A             E

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time, time, time, time

E                                   B

You gotta keep on flying high

E                             A             E

Ooooooh, it’s been a long time, time, time, time

E                              B

You gotta try till you die

 

E                                                    A                             E

I feel like a mountaintop that’s been weather worn to the ground

E                                                   B

I'm not quite so tall anymore but I sure have spread around

E            A                      E

Oooooh, time, time, time, time

E                                  B

It makes you old and it makes you blind

E            A                      E

Oooooh, time, time, time, time

E                                     B

It heals all wounds – Is it gonna heal mine?

 

         E                             A         E

I got two broken wings and I can’t fly

E                                       B

I lost my directions when I fell from the sky

E                                      A                      E

I need a place to stop and mend my broken bones

E                                                B

Before I find my way back to my mountain top home

 

         E      A                      E                                      B

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

         E      A                      E                               B

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

 

E                              A                E

It won’t be long now before I am gone

E                                           B

But I raise my head up high – Sing a happy song

                      E             A                       E                              B

Because I got time, yeah time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

         E      A                      E                              B

I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

 

E*           A      E     B

Mmmmm time, time

       E        A                     E                              B

Yea, I got time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time
