[Intro]
C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C G F C
The window is open, so why don't you fly?
G
Could it be you have lost all the yearning to try?
C F C
Your cage is a prison, they've kept you so long
G C
But wings are for flying and the throat for a song
[Chorus]
F G C
So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
D G
Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
C F C
Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere
G C
And if you're only dreaming, I don't really care
[Verse 2]
C F C
They won't even miss you or ask where you've been
G
They'll feed you and listen for a song now and then
C F C
Fly over the mountain and come back to me
G C
And tell in your song what it's like to be free
[Chorus]
F G C
So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
D G
Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
C F C
Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere

And if you're only dreaming, I don't really care

[Verse 3]
D G D
God gave us the places to labor and strive
A
But if living ain't nothing but staying alive
D G D
Then give me the dying, if that's what you found
A D
Don't sing on my grave or drop flowers on the ground
[Out-Chorus]
G A D
For I'll fly like and eagle and land like a dove
E A
I'll find all the places that I have dreamed of
D G D
Fly away with my troubles and drop them somewhere
A Bm G
And if I'm only dreaming, I don't really care

And if I'm only dreaming, I don't really care
