G                     C
Lover, there will be another one
       G                 C
Who'll hover, over you beneath the sun
  G                           C
Tomorrow, see the things that never come;
  G   C G
today  
 
                C    G       Bm
When you see me fly away without you;   
C             G          Bm
Shadow on the things you know 
C        G     Bm
Feathers fall around you;
    Am           C      D
And show you the way to go
     C    G      G7 C
It's over;  it's over
 
G                          C
Nestled, in your wings, my little one
   G                        C
Is special, morning brings another sun
  G                           C
Tomorrow, see the things that never come;
  G  C G
today
 
                C    G       Bm
When you see me fly away without you;   
C             G          Bm
Shadow on the things you know 
C        G     Bm
Feathers fall around you;
    Am           C      D
And show you the way to go
     C    G      G7 C
It's over;  it's over
