          E             F#m
I had a dream that someday
               A        E
I would just fly, fly away
               E             F#m
And I always knew I couldn't stay
             A                       E
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away

E                         F#m
I've been on my own for a minute
A                  E
Is it only me out here
E                            F#m
Searching for the place to begin it
       A                    E
Is it me? Is it you? Is it fear?
E                          F#m
Standing on the line I was given
 A                              E
People staring at me while I'm here
 E                            F#m
No one seems to think that I fit in
    A                       E
But I don't wanna be like them

           E                 F#m
No, 'cause I don't wanna be like them
       A                        E
'Cause I know that I, know that I

Chorus:
          E            F#m
I had a dream that someday
               A        E
I would just fly, fly away
               E             F#m
And I always knew I couldn't stay
             A                       E
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away
          E                         F#m
oh-oh-oh (Fly away, fly away) oh-oh-oh
            A                     E
oh-oh-oh (Fly away) oh, I'd fly away

No one knew how low I was feeling
I was scared to reach for it all
Knowing I was here for a reason
But I was scared that if I tried, I'd fall
So where do I go now that I'm in it?
I never thought it'd be like this
Dreaming all my life and I did it
Thought the grass is greener than it is

Chorus:
'Cause I had a dream that someday
I would just fly, fly away
And I always knew I couldn't stay
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away, oh
Woah, oh (Fly away, fly away)
Oh, I'd fly away, woah, woah, oh
(Fly away, fly away)
I'd fly away

          E            F#m
I had a dream that someday
               A        E
I would just fly, fly away
               E             F#m
And I always knew I couldn't stay
             A
So I had a dream that I'd just fly away, away

Woah, woah
(Fly away, fly away)
(Fly away, fly away)
Woah, woah, woah
(Fly away, fly away)
(Fly away)
I'd fly away
