[Intro]
D   G2x
He didn’t askD  
He didn’t pryA  
He just hBmeld the ice that cD/F#overed my black eGye
When that girDl, she broke my heaArt
We just Bmthrew that baseball bD/F#ack and forth till darkG  
When I sAtarted playing guitar, aD/F#nd didnG’t have a clue
He wanteAd to protect me, but somD/F#ehow my Gfather knew
[Chorus]
That you Dcan cry for 'em
live and dAie for 'em
You can help Bmthem find their D/F#wings but you can’t fGly for 'em
Cause if thDey’re not free to fall, then tAhey’re not free at all
And though you jusBmt can’t bear the D/F#thought of letting gGo
Pick em Dup…. dust em oAff.. and Send Em on Down The Road
[INTRO AGAIN]
[Verse 2]
Little kisDs, on a skinned up knAee
From playing sBmoccer, riding biD/F#kes, and climbing trGees
When bad drDeams, fill their heAads
I chase the mBmonsters out from unD/F#derneath their bedsG  
Guess I Aalways knew those daD/F#ys, wouGld end
But the Ahardest thing I’ve ever D/F#learned Ghas been…
[Chorus]
That you Dcan cry for 'em
live and dAie for 'em
You can heBmlp them find their wiD/F#ngs but you can’t fGly for 'em
Cause if thDey’re not free to fall, then tAhey’re not free at all
And though you juBmst can’t bear the D/F#thought of lettGing go
Pick em Dup…. dusAt em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road
[Solo]
D A Bm D/F# G
That you Dcan cry for 'em
live and Adie for 'em
And even thBmough Dits gonna break your hD/F#eart, you let Gem go
Pick em Dup…. dusAt em off..
You Hold em clDose… and you pray a loGt
Send em on down the road
