D                         D/F# 
She laughs like she cries and cries like the sky  
    G                      D  
Is about to be earthwardly bound 
      D                       D/F# 
You’d think that she died one tear at a time  
        G                    A 
And her time is about to run out 
D                      D/F# 
Flying from you is the first thing she’ll do  
        G                        D  
just to see if you’ll chase her around 
    G                         D 
She laughs like she cries so imagine the high  
        A                            D   
I could catch when that girl touches down. 
 
Chorus 1:  
               G 
She don’t know why 
               Bm 
she don’t know why 
Em              Em/F#       G 
songbirds can’t help but to fly  
    A              D  
And she don’t know why 
 
She sings like a bird has never been heard  
while it’s resting its wings on the ground 
But high in a tree when she’s just out of reach  
you can hear her impossible sound 
Like a voice from above reminds you her love  
is a live you should never have found 
She sings like a bird and I never deserve  
to hear what she was singing about. 
 
Chorus 
  
 
Bridge: 
 
      Bm                      Bm/A                   G                      D         
Wings don’t need a reason for coming or leaving they don’t need a reason to fly 
        Bm                        Bm/A                      G                      A 
They’re just made for healing the man to start beating, she ordered them up to the sky 
 
Chorus 2: 
I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I let her take to the sky  
Without saying goodbye
