If I could only fly,you seeDm A lot of problems would be goneF When you think of just how muchC7 F I'd save on shoes aloneC7 F If I could only flyF 3. I would never tear my clothesDm Climbing in and out of treesF If I could only fly,I'd never crawlC7 F Or wear holes in my kneesC7 F If I could only flyC/G 4. How I'd love to spread my wingsAm And streak across the skyC/G I'd be off to see the worldG7 C/G If I could only flyG7 C/G But I'd always come right back
