A

ome new wings,
A
and I painted a
C#m
nose
B
E
I wished so h

ard, up in the a

Carry me, carry me, c

And I once loved
B
a girl,
A
she was younger than
C#m

B
E
Her parents kept her l

ocked, up in their lives
And she was c
A
rying, she was wishing she c
C#m
ould be free
B
E
Of course I m
B
ostly remember her laughing
A
Standing there and watching us
C#m

Then there was m
B
y mother,
A
she was lying in white sheets there
And she was
C#m
waiting to die
B
E
She said if you just reach
B
underneath this bed, and unt
A
ie these weights
I could s
C#m
urely fly
B
E
She's still smiling b
B
ut she's tired
A
She'd like to hear that
C#m
last bell ring

You know if she still
