Flying Without Wings Chords
Everybody’s looking for a something [G#]
One thing that makes it all complete [Fm]
You’ll find it in the strangest places [C#]
Places you never knew it could be [D#]
Some find it in the face of their [G#] children
Some find it in their lover’s [Fm] eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings [C#]
When you’ve found that [D#] special thing
You’re flying without [G#] wings
Some find it [G#] sharing every morning
Some in their solitary [Fm] lives
You’ll find it in the [C#] words of others
A simple line can [D#] make you laugh or cry
You’ll find it in [G#] the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish [Fm] all your life
And when you know how much it [C#] means
You’ve found that [D#] special thing
You’re flying without [G#] wings
So, impossible [C#] as it may seem [D#]
You’ve got [Fm] to fight for every dream
Cos who’s [C#] to know which one [C#m] you let go
Would have made you [D#] complete
Well, for me it’s [G#] waking up beside you
To watch the [Fm] sunrise on your face
To know that I [C#] can say I love you
In any given time or [D#] place
It’s little things that only I know [G#]
Those are the [Fm] things that make you mine
And it’s like [C#] flying without wings
Cos you’re my special [D#] thing
I’m flying [G#] without wings
And in this place I [C#] long to be
You’ll be where [D#] it ends
I’m flying [C#] without wings
And that’s the joy you [D#] bring
I’m flying [G#] without wings
