      F                C
Well, love's a bird in flight

She'll leave you if you let her

[Verse 1]
F                 C
 When you love so long
   Am               G
It gets so hard to know
Dm                   Am
 If your love's still strong

Or if you need to let it go
F                      C
 It's neither right or wrong

There's just one thing that I know

Well, love's a bird in flight
       Am                    G
She'll leave you if you let her
F               C
 Don't hold too tight
           Am               G
For you'll break her in your hands
           F                   C
She's been dancing with your heart
          Am                 G
Since the very day you met her
          F                 Am
But she's so hard to resist
         C                  G
But it's harder to regret her,
yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
F                     C
 So find a love that's true
     Am                   G
That can't be bought or sold
Dm                 Am
 Find a love brand new
     C                     G
Even when it's grey and dull
       F                   C
I can't tell you what to do
             C         C/B       F
There's just one thing I've been told

[Chorus]
      F                C
Well, love's a bird in flight
          Am                  G
She'll be flying free forever
F             C
 Try as you might
             Am                   G
You'll never catch her in your hands
       F              C
She may stay with you tonight
          Am                    G
Or she'll leave you with the feathers
             F             Am
And she's so hard to forgive
         C                   G
But it's harder to forget her

[Outro]
          F              Am
And she's so hard to resist
         C                  G
But it's harder to regret her
F                   Am
I've loved every day
      C                     G
But I wish I'd never met her, oh
F
