C         G             C            F

1. These broken wings can take me no further,

           C            G      C

I’m lost, and out at sea.

C              G         C             F

   I thought these wings would hold me forever,

            C        G    E

    and on to  eternity.

F      C   - G              C

And far away I can hear your voice,

  F                  C                    G

I can hear it in the silence of the morning.

 C       G          C          -F

But these broken wings have let me down,

             G              G7           C

they can’t even carry me home.

C          G                C F

2. In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,

            C            G      C

I remember all the things I said.

    C                 G C F

Well, I’ve broken all the promises, I said I would be keeping,

C       G     E

they’re gone, like leaves they fell.

F    C             G      C

For it’s so hard when you’re far away,

F      C             G            

all I needed was a shoulder I could cry on.

C       G           C          - F

Now these broken dreams have woken me,

           G               G7           C

my love, will you carry me home.

G

Or will you treat me like some traveller,

  F                      C

on a dark and lonely road,

Dm                      F                                    G - G7

who sees light and a woman who will give him love.

C                                        F

Oh, and just when she reaches the part,

    C                            F

when she’s supposed to comfort his broken heart,

C            Dm                           G - F

she turns away, and sends him travelling o…….n.

3. + instrumental = verse 1, lines 1 to 4

F      C             G              C

Oh, when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong,

F      C             G            

I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story.

C          G       C - F

Take me back my love, I need you now,

   G            G7           C

come back and carry me home !

C            Bb Am - F

Take me back and heal these broken wings,

   G             G7           C - G - C

come back and carry me home !
