Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
(verse1)
So  small, yet still so proud
 At night  before he dreams he looks into the  clouds
A  high flyer's what I want to be
Seems  they won't let me, says I'm too small
 I don't  feel small at all
Break  my dreams, that's what they'll  do
Well  I'm going to run away and learn to fly like  you
I'm  going to go so  high and swoop  so low
 You can't bring me  down, going to be so proud
 (chorus)
Little  angel you got to learn  to fly
Get  up and earn your wings tonight
Little  angel just look in  my eyes
Get  up and earn your wings  tonight
 (verse2 Same as 1st verse chords)
 Push and shove then climb aboard
 This is the shuttle train to the top of the world
 When you look around what do you see
 These are all high flyers
 But none of these high flyers look like me
 (play intro chord progression)
 What is that supposed to mean
 What am I supposed to be
 (verse3 same chords as verse1 again but best played lightly and pickin strings)
 I pull my way up through this crowd
 To find your body crushed on the ground
 It's so obvious, why couldn't you see
 That you can't go high flying without a pair of high-flyer wings
 (Verse 4 Play with feelin cmon its last verse hehe)
 Little one's broken lying on the ground
 Trying to get up 'till his last breath out
 Wings are strune everywhere, there's blood all around
 'Cause even angel's die, but that light just fades
 It's so sad, but he'd be so proud
 (chorus)
 Broken angel you've got to learn to fly
 Get up and earn your wings tonight
 Broken angel just look in my eyes
 Get up and earn you wings tonight
 Get up and earn your wings, earn your wings tonight.
 Well that took me about 40 mins to transcribe i think its great i love this song its beautiful :)
 p.s there's a little filler thing that goes on in the end of the chorus to verse etc here it is tabbed
