             G             Gmaj7You used to dream yourself away each night
        
    B7               Em7    Am7To places that you'd never been
        
    G             EmOn wings made of wishes
         
       Am7             D7sus4 D7That you whispered to yourself.
                   
           G              Bm7Back when every night the moon and you
            
       C             Cm             GWould sweep away to places That you knew
                        
                D7             GWhere you would never get the blues
 
 B7         Em7              B7Well now, whiskey gives you wings
              
          Em7      D        GTo carry each one of your dreams
 
 G                     Gmaj7                        And the moon does not belong to you
          
    C  B7                Em7                B7But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams
                      
                         Em7             A7 Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old
     
       CAnd a heart that has been broken
               
          D7sus4           D7Will be stronger when it mends
                  
              G               Bm7Don't let the blues stop you singing

C                            CmDarlin', you've only got a broken wing
