CThe saddest Fsong I've ever heard
Was on the A#radio last Fnight
I turned it Cup you turned it Dmoff
Then Cwe lay A#down and turned out the Clight
I thought I'd Fnever go to sleep
In that A#cold and quiet Fbed
Thinkin' Cback on all we've Dmlost
Or Cis it A#all we never Chad
We've flown too Fhigh A#on borrowed Fwings
Touched the sky A#or so it Cseemed 
Guess fools can Amfall A#for FanyA7thiDmng 
We've A#flown too Fhigh Con borrowed Fwings
CIt's hard to Fsay A#where we went Fwrong
There was a A#time it felt so Freal
Now the Csilence in this Dmroom
And your Cempty A#eyes are all I CfeelG7  
Is it too Clate to save us now
C7Does it Fmatter anyCmore
Am I a G7fool to even Amhope
That you G7want me Fwalkin' out the G7door
We've flown too Chigh Fon borrowed Cwings
Touched the C7sky For so it G7seemed 
I guess a fool can Emfall Ffor CanyE7thiAmng  
We've Fflown too Chigh G7on borrowed Cwings
Guess a fool can Emfall Ffor CanyE7thiAmng  
We've Fflown too Chigh G7on borrowed Cwings
