[Verse 1]
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Paradise waits.... on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
She has no pain... like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Em13 Em Em7 Em13
Poised for flight Wings spread bright
Em7 Em13 Em Em9 Em7 Bm
Spring from night in - to the sun.
[Verse 2]
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Don't stop to run. She can fly like a lie she can't be out-done.
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Tell me the cost. I can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Sell everything. Without love day-to-day, insanity's king.
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Em13 Em Em7 Em13
I will pay, Day by day,
Em7 Em13 Em Em9 Em7 Bm
An - y - way, lock, bolt and key.
[Verse 3]
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Crippled but free, I was blind all the time, I was learning to see.

Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Help on the way. Well I know only this, I've got you today.
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Don't fly away. 'Cause I love what I love and I want it that way.
[Chorus]
Em Em7 Em13 Em Em7 Em13
I will stay, one more day,
Em7 Em13 Em Em9 Em7 Bm
like I say, honey it's you.
[Verse 5]
Em Em7 Em Bm Asus2 Em Em Em7 Em13
Making it too, Without love in the dream, it will never come true.
