E -----------------

Birds fly

A D

That's what they say

Lift up their wing

And they drift away

The sky so clear

A D

As I count the bank

Trying hard to find

A D

A reason not to stay

CHORUS:

Wanna lay my head

Where the cold wind blows

Where the thunderstorms

Soak through my clothes

It rides on rails

Pass my window pane

F A

Shakes the glass

Runs through my dreams

VERSE:

A D

Birds fly

A D

That's what they say

Leave it all behind

And they go their way

I pack my bags

A D

I know I just can't stay

Your bed is warmed up

A D

But the world seems big today

CHORUS:

Wanna lay my head

Where the cold wind blows

Where the thunderstorms

Soak through my clothes

Like the wild geese fly

When the seasons change

F A

Cold winds blow

I'm on my way

INSTRUMENTAL:

D Bm A D F#m Bm A D

CHORUS:

Wanna lay my head

Where the cold wind blows

Where the thunderstorms

Soak through my clothes

Like the wild geese fly

When the seasons change

F A

And the cold winds blow

I'm on my way

OUTRO:

F A

And the cold winds blow

I'm on my way
