They Always Fly Away

[Verso 1]

                Dm 
Do you want to follow me indoors 
        A 
If the elevator be my floor 
                  Dm                                                     
There's a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire 
                C 
He's there most days 
                 Dm 
If we don't have time for everything 
                    A 
Let's at least sit quietly with him 
        Dm                                    G                  A 
Just long enough to notice when he flies away because he always flies away 
 

[Verso 2]

              Dm 
And tomorrow everything will change 
                    A 
That's what all our teachers used to say 
                 Dm                                          C 
We don't need to wonder if the rows on our face will turn to grey        
                      Dm 
But since we know the movements of the stars 
        A 
We know exactly where we are 
             Dm                                   G 
And we'll be together when the leaves are acting strange 
                 A 
We'll watch them fly away 
 

[Ponte]

                Dm 
They always fly away 
                Dm 
They always fly away 
                Dm 
They always fly away 
 

[Verso 3]

                     Dm 
There's a mountain underneath the clouds 
                   A 
There's a heaven underneath us now 
                     Dm                                         C 
Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea from where you lay 
                    Dm 
There's a blackbird sitting on a line 
                   A 
And we're all here navigating time 
            Dm                       G              A 
Let's watch him long enough until he flies away... they always fly away 

                Dm 
They always fly away
