[Verse 1]
E Bsus2 B C#m/E E Bsus2 B C#m/E
You cannot hold her anymore
E Bsus2 B C#m/E E Bsus2 B C#m/E E
Though everyday I see you try
E/C# B2/D# E2 E2/F# G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
She's bursting with the urge to run and fly
E/C# B2/D# E F#2 G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
And where she's bound you cannot hope to be
[Chorus 1]
E/C# Bsus2/D# E2 E2
As distant as the poles
E2/F# F# (Bsus2)
and the poles will never meet

One day she'll catch one in a jar
E/C# B2/D# E2 E6/F# G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
But you would rather watch them from afar
E/C# B2/D# E E6/F# G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
And what she dreams you cannot hope to see

You cannot hold her anymore

So have the heart to say goodbye
E/C# B2/D# E2 E2/F# G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
And open up the cage and let her fly
E/C# B2/D# E2 E2/F# G#madd9 Bmaj7/F#
A blazing trail of comets in the sky
E/C# B/D# E F# G#madd9 G#m/F#
And love her just enough to set her free
