Wings Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
Y [Am]'all all see
the glitz and the glamour
[G]Y 'all didn't see when I was
under the hammer
[F]Nails in my coffin,
hated life with a passion
Scars from the cuts,
self -inflicted and damaged
[Am]Black tar staining up my hands
while I'm dancing
Nev[G]er thought I would have a
second chance
Then those [F]cuffs saved my life that night,
I'd imagine
Mama left me to kick in a cell,
it was tragic
[Am]Thank God God gave grace to an addict
Sev[G]en years later now my life is magic
I [F]still have bad dreams
about laying on that mattress
The days made with clips
that were caked in black
And the [Am]poison I did
to escape from reality
I'm [G]one of the lucky ones
that escaped my fatality
I [F]OD'd enough times to be ghost
Gone in a moment in a puff of smoke, so [Am]I
I [G]know it's not [F]easy[Am][G][F]
[Am]Crossed my heart, hoped to cry
There [G]were some nights
I wish I'd died
[F]Prayed in the dark for a while
The broken wings, they [Am]still fly
They still [G]fly, they still fly
[F]They still fly, they still fly
Just [Am]cause I'm sober doesn't
mean I'm all better
Some[G]times my head is as twisted as ever
[F]Self -hate, am I great?
Am I trash? I can't take
Pieces in the cage,
raging like he ain't eight
[Am]But I'm not feeding him, starve him out
Put [G]on these headphones
and drown him out
[F]More diagnosis than the DSM
Thinking you beat it,
then you see it again
Tenden[Am]cies of a neurotic psychotic
The [G]way the key I sing,
it's almost melodic
But I [F]dance anyway,
in the flames of my demise
In the mirror, see the demons
reflected in my eyes
[Am]Tellin' myself, it's all in my mind
But it's [G]hard to do,
cause it's so real at the time
On the [F]borderline of the breaks,
cause I'm borderline
But there's more to me,
and there's more to life
So I
[Am]I know it's not easy
I [G]know it's not easy
I [F]know it's not easy
No I [Am]know it's not easy
I [G]know it's not easy
I [F]know it's not easy, not easy
[Am]Cross my heart, hold tight
There are some [G]nights I wish I'd died
[F]Hurt in the dark for a while
The broken wings, they still [Am]fly
They still [G]fly, they still [F]fly
Yeah
[Am]If I die before I wake
[G]Then I could end the pain
But [F]if I don't, I'll taste the pain
Man, my wings do fly away
[Am]Things like that keep put outweigh
[G]These things I put in the pain
But [F]if I don't, Lord, please, I pray
Man, my wings do fly away
[Am]Cross my heart, hope to cry
There are [G]some nights I wish I'd die
[F]Hurt in the dark for a while
Broken wings, they still fly
[Am]They still fly
[G]They still [F]fly
They still fly
Yeah
[Am]Cross my heart, hope to
I'm nex[G]t, I wish I died
[F]Red in the dark, for a while
Broken wings, I still fly
[Am]They still [G]fly, I still [F]fly

[Outro 1]
Yeah, today, still fly
[Am][G][F]
