Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 What's keeping me, what's keeping me

 God tell me what is keeping me

 I thought I saw Resolution yesterday

 But he just smiled and waved

 What's holding me, what's holding me

 Dear God, what is holding me

 I thought I knew what laid in store

 I didn't count on locked up doors

 And all I know is something happened

 The wind changed directions

 The lovers cried and the birds flew away

 Why did I stay, why did I stay

 What tied me up, what tied me up

 Like chewing gum my feet got stuck

 I'm sitting in this rusty room

 All prepared to face my doom

 You laughed at me, you laughed at me

 Said that kind of life don't come for free

 I smiled, said no, and not much does

 But why are my feet still stuck

 And again signs all pointed to

 Following my simple truth

 The lovers cried and more birds flew away

 Why did I stay, why did I stay

 Why did I stay, why did I stay

I can't be a walking restriction anymore

I can't deny what fate's got in store

Why do I stay, why do I stay

Please tell me I don't have to stay

Friend told me I'll lend you some change

 Go find out who's calling your name

Leave your goodbyes with me tonight

 Don't mind what's wrong just go set it right

 Last boarding call to LA

 Take your tickets here, right this way

 Don't care if I become a star

 I just wanna play my guitar

 And something's happening

 The wind changed directions

 The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away

 I didn't stay, I didn't stay

 I didn't stay, I didn't stay

 I flew away

 Don't stay

Fly away
