[Intro]
 C   F(x2)
CIf I could write a love song,
Good enough for you,
I'd write it down,
Just so you Fknew how much,
you mean to me
CBut darling, I've tried to,
dumb it down again
Words cant describe how
or make you Fcomprehend how much
you mean to me
Amlets take our Emproblems
aFnd throw them to the wind
Amlets take our Emtroubles
aFnd try to forget them
Amlets take our Emhardships
aFnd toss them to the sky
Amcause I don't Emknow about you Fdarling
                   Am        Em   F(x2)
but I'd rather fly
CIf time would stand still
just for a while
maybe I could find words to
describe your Fsmile
but i'd doubt that theyd suffice
Cwell i get enchanced
just looking in your eyes
maybe if i looked hard enough
id find lyrics to Fdescribe
but i doubt theyd be right
Amlets take our Emproblems
aFnd throw them to the wind
Amlets take our Emtroubles
aFnd try to forget them
Amlets take our Emhardships
aFnd toss them to the sky
Amcause I don't Emknow about you Fdarling
                   Am        Em   F(x2)
but I'd rather fly
Ambut some Cday
wFe will see that
Amwe can get Cthrough Fanything
Amand some Cday
wFe'll realize that
Amwe don't Cneed wiFngs to fly
Ami don't Cknow about you Fdarling
Amand I don't Cknow about you Fdarling
           Am     C   F(x2) 
but I'm gonna try
Amlets take our Emproblems
aFnd throw them to the wind
Amlets take our Emtroubles
aFnd try to forget them
Amlets take our Emhardships
aFnd toss them to the sky
Amcause I don't Emknow about you Fdarling
                   Am        Em   F(x2)
but I'd rather fly

[Intro]

C F

(x2)

If I could write a love song,

Good enough for you,

I'd write it down,

Just so you knew how much,

you mean to me

But darling, I've tried to,

dumb it down again

Words cant describe how

or make you comprehend how much

you mean to me

Am Em

lets take our problems

and throw them to the wind

Am Em

lets take our troubles

and try to forget them

Am Em

lets take our hardships

and toss them to the sky

Am Em F

cause I don't know about you darling

Am Em F

(x2)

but I'd rather fly

If time would stand still

just for a while

maybe I could find words to

describe your smile

but i'd doubt that theyd suffice

well i get enchanced

just looking in your eyes

maybe if i looked hard enough

id find lyrics to describe

but i doubt theyd be right

Am Em

lets take our problems

and throw them to the wind

Am Em

lets take our troubles

and try to forget them

Am Em

lets take our hardships

and toss them to the sky

Am Em F

cause I don't know about you darling

Am Em F

(x2)

but I'd rather fly

Am C

but some day

we will see that

Am C F

we can get through anything

Am C

and some day

we'll realize that

Am C F

we don't need wings to fly

Am C F

i don't know about you darling

Am C F

and I don't know about you darling

Am C F

(x2)

but I'm gonna try

Am Em

lets take our problems

and throw them to the wind

Am Em

lets take our troubles

and try to forget them

Am Em

lets take our hardships

and toss them to the sky

Am Em F

cause I don't know about you darling

Am Em F

(x2)

but I'd rather fly
