EmMidnight Dove
Why do you wander
On through clouded skies? 
There must Dbe a glAmimpse 
Of hope in Emsight
EmSpread your wings
And take to flight
Leave the past behind
The dDawn will bAmirth 
A brand new lEmight
So fAmly on and
NB7ever look 
BGack from D/F#where you Emcame 
AmThe sky opens B7up and it's
CGalling out your D/F#name
AmCause all you got is all 
AmAll you got is all 
AmAll that you nEmeedD  Am  
I fEmound myself 
DFound myself
AmAmongst the thorns and weeds 
You fEmound yourself 
  DFound yourself
AmAmongst the beautiful trees 
And we're not the sEmame 
  DNo we're not thAme same 
No we're not the Emsame 
  DNo we're not thAme same 
Cause I gotta Emblow like the wind
DFlow like the sea 
AmDeep down inside of 
Every part of me 
My Emheart's been aching 
For the Dfreedom to stretch out my wAmings
Now with Emevery move I make 
And Devery breath I take
AmMy mind's been worrying 
About what's at stake 
But EmI just gotta let them gDo 
With the wAmind 
Let it all Emgo
Let it all Dgo 
Let it Amall go 
With the wind 
Let it all Emgo 
Let it all Dgo
Let it aAmll go 
EmMidnight Dove 
Why Ddo you wander Amon?

Midnight Dove

Why do you wander

On through clouded skies?

D Am

There must be a glimpse

Of hope in sight

Spread your wings

And take to flight

Leave the past behind

D Am

The dawn will birth

A brand new light

So fly on and

Never look

G D/F# Em

Back from where you came

Am B7

The sky opens up and it's

G D/F#

Calling out your name

Cause all you got is all

All you got is all

Am Em D Am

All that you need

I found myself

Found myself

Amongst the thorns and weeds

You found yourself

Found yourself

Amongst the beautiful trees

And we're not the same

D Am

No we're not the same

D Am

No we're not the same

Cause I gotta blow like the wind

Flow like the sea

Deep down inside of

Every part of me

My heart's been aching

D Am

For the freedom to stretch out my wings

Now with every move I make

And every breath I take

My mind's been worrying

About what's at stake

Em D

But I just gotta let them go

With the wind

Let it all go

With the wind

Let it all go

Midnight Dove

D Am

Why do you wander on?
