One Less Bird

D Summer night, we were seventeen A When she said “I love you but baby I’m leaving D G Come tomorrow you come and see me when you can.” D We had some times, yeah we had some life here A Remember driving all through the night D And we would talk like someday G We'd stop somewhere and make it home D A Bm A G But time rolls on, and it’s time that I let you G D Some will run back while some run free Bm A Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and G D G They used to say if you love someone let her fly D A D All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight D One less weekend, one less picture A One less day-trip to laugh about later and D G Bm One more moment that takes you farther out from me G D A They say that distance can grow your heart D G A But every day spent away just makes you feel farther G D Some will run back while some run free Bm A Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and G D G They used to say if you love someone let her fly D All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight D I won’t say, I won’t say, can’t you just stay, don’t fly away G D Some will run back while some run free Bm A Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and G D G They used to say if you love someone let her fly G D Some will run back while some run free Bm A Some will pack their bags up and chase down dreams and G D G They used to say if you love someone let her fly D All I know is there’s one less bird here tonight G D A D There’s one less bii-i-i-i-rd in this lonely cage tonight
