Chorus:
       A#                F
Well, love's a bird in flight
        Dm                   C
She'll leave you if you let her
A#               F
Don't hold too tight
            Dm                C
For you'll break her in your hands
A#                     F
It's neither wrong or right
    Dm                   C
Nor is it worse or better
          A#                Dm
And she's so hard to forgive
          F                   C
But it's harder to forget her, yeah yeah

A#                 F
When you love so long
   Dm                  C
It gets so hard to know
Gm                     Dm
If your love's still strong
           F               C
Or if you need to let it go
A#                      F
It's neither right or wrong
             Dm          C      A#
There's just one thing that I know

Chorus:
Love's a bird in flight
She'll leave you if you let her
Don't hold too tight
For you'll break her in your hands
She's been dancing with your heart
Since the very day you met her
But she's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her
Yeah

So find a love that's true
That can't be bored or sold
Find a love brand new
Even when it's gray and old
I can't tell you what to do
There's just one thing I've been told

Chorus:
Well love's a bird in flight
She'll be flying free forever
Try as you might
You'll never catch her in your hands
She may stay with you tonight
Or she'll leave you with the feathers
And she's so hard to forgive
But it's harder to forget her

She's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her
Love love every day
But I wish I'd never met her
Ooh
