    G                               C
The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
    G                      C
But you don't realize just what they say
        G              D/F#         Fdim             C/E
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done


Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7                        Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7
  It makes me feel so sad (makes me feel so sad)
Ebmaj7            Bbmaj7                         Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7
  To think what I might've had (what I might have had)


Bb                 Dm[Bbmaj7?]      Bb7             C
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
              Cm        D
But it's only make believe


    G                                C
You work . . . you work, you work so hard and then
    G                       C
Someone, someone will come around again
        G              D/F#          Fdim         C/E
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel


Ebmaj7       Bbmaj7                   Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7
  The places that I go (places that I go)
Ebmaj7            Bbmaj7                Ebmaj7        Bbmaj7
  Don’t feel good anymore (feel good anymore)


Bb           Dm[Bbmaj7?]      Bb7             C
I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
              Cm           D/F#  D/A  D7b9      D5+     D7
But it's only make believe  [LINK: see above)


     G                  Cmaj7  
Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
     G                    Cmaj7  
To a place somewhere far across the sea
     G         D/F#            Fdim       C/E
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today


Ebmaj7           Bbmaj7         Ebmaj7   Bbmaj7
  The waves that crash upon the sand 
Ebmaj7    Bbmaj7           Ebmaj7   Bbmaj7
  Another place, a far off land


Bb             Dm[Bbmaj7?]     Bb7                         C
And every day, I have to stay, but you are free, you could fly away
              Cm           D/F#  D/A  D7b9      D5+     D7
