Verse
D                  A              B
When I would play my song
G                  D      A
You used to sing along.
D              A             B
I always seem to forget
G                A               D
How fragile are the very strong.
 
D           A          B
I'm sorry I can't steal you
G          D          A
I'm sorry I can't stay
D             F#7              Bm
So I put band-aids on your knees   
G            A           D
And watch you fly away
 
Chorus:
G           Bm    A       D
I'm sending you away tonight
G                      Bm             A
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G          Bm        A                  D
I'm saving you the best way I know how
G                A                D
I hope again one day to hear you sing
 
Verse:(same as above)
D              A          B
You know we're not so far away
G        D              A
Get on a boat, get on a train 
D           A                B
And if you ever think you're drowning
G           A        D
I'll try to slow the rain
D   A           B
In two years or so
G         D                A    C#/A
Drop me a line, Write me a letter
D         F#7               Bm
I hope to find you're doing better,
D7           G      A      D
better than today, better everyday
 
Chorus:
G           Bm   A    D
I'm sending you away tonight
G                 Bm            A
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G          Bm      A               D
I'm saving you the best way I know how
G                A               Bm
I hope again one day to hear you sing
G           Bm      A                   D
I'm saving you the only way that I know how
G                A               Bm
I hope again one day to hear you sing
G               F#7             Bm         D7
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile 
     G      D
back around again
