[Bm]                               [C]
I [G]he[Am]ard[Bm] a street singer play a song I called my own,
That brought be to my[Bm] ch[Bbm]ildh[Am]ood home.        [G]
        [C]      [C/B]     [C/A]   [G]
[D]Di[Dsus4]d you [D]    go       back from where you came?
If I    [C]get [C/B]there [C/B]will they ha[G]ve my name?    [D]      [Dsus4]            [D]
If they don[C]'t I'll[C/B] only have[C/A] mysel[G]f to blame.  [D]    [Dsus4]          [D]

[Bm]Life is a gury eyed, heavy hearted, whirlw[C]ind of a storm.                   [G]
[Bm]Something they j[Bm]ust[Bbm] hur[Am]t too much to cry.    [G]
[Bm]                                                     [C]
Memories are lik[G]e shad[G]ow[Am]s, [Bm]the light won't make them disappear
So I sti[Bm]ll [Bbm]see [Am]you smiling with your eyes.   [G]

So did you go back from where you came?
If I get there, would they have my name?
If they don't I'll only have myself to blame,
For all these things,
True happiness is having wings
