One Less Bird

C
Summer night, we were seventeen
                              G
When she said “I love you but baby 
I’m leaving
C                                 
Come tomorrow you come and see me 
         F
when you can.”
C
We had some times, yeah we had some 
life here
                     G
Remember driving all through the 
night
             C
And we would talk like someday
                                F
We'd stop somewhere and make it home
    C          G            Am   
But time rolls on, and it’s time 
     G     F
that I let you


[Chorus]
F                        C
Some will run back while some run 
free
          Am                    
Some will pack their bags up and 
 G
chase down dreams and
     F                  C         
They used to say if you love 
           F
someone let her fly
                      C            
All I know is there’s one less bird
      G        C
 here   tonight

[Verse 2]
C
One less weekend, one less picture
                     G
One less day-trip to laugh about 
later and
C                    F      
One more moment that takes you 
                    Am
farther out from me
F             C            G
They say that distance can grow your
 heart
    C                         F   
But every day spent away just 
           G
makes you feel farther


[Chorus]
F                        C
Some will run back while some run 
free
          Am                    
Some will pack their bags up and 
 G
chase down dreams and
     F                  C         
They used to say if you love 
           F
someone let her fly
                      C
All I know is there’s one less bird 
here tonight


[Bridge]
C
I won’t say, I won’t say, can’t you 
just stay, don’t fly away


[Chorus]
F                        C
Some will run back while some run 
free
          Am                    
Some will pack their bags up and 
 G
chase down dreams and
     F                  C         
They used to say if you love 
           F
someone let her fly
F                        C
Some will run back while some run 
free
          Am                    
Some will pack their bags up and 
 G
chase down dreams and
     F                  C         
They used to say if you love 
           F
someone let her fly
                      C
All I know is there’s one less bird 
here tonight

        F        C             
There’s one less bii-i-i-i-rd in 
       G           C
this lonely cage tonight
