[Verse 1]
C    Dm           Bb
As I stand here before you
C           Dm           Bb
There's not much left to say
C      Dm          Bb
I have known for a while you'd be leaving
F                  C
I won't ask you to stay
Dm       C         Bb
Oh but I hope your road is one of laughter
Dm              C        Bb
'Cause it's the sweetest sound I have known
F         C         Dm      Bb
I'll keep your cage forever after
     Gm       Bb
Even though I know
 
[Chorus]
              Dm C Bb
This bird has flown
              Dm C Bb
This bird has flown
 
[Verse 2]
C          Dm           Bb
You always said I was a dreamer
C       Dm                   Bb
Guess I thought you were one too
C          Dm                 Bb
Now you're gone but I'm still dreaming
F                          C
All my dreams are still of you
Dm         C        Bb
Oh I still see you, walking down the aisle
Dm             C          Bb
All dressed in white with flowers in your hair
F     C      Dm               Bb
And I try to stay there for a while
         Gm               Bb
'Cause I know that when I wake up
 
[Chorus]
             Dm C Bb
You won't be there
             Dm C Bb
You won't be there
 
[Verse 3]
C    Dm             Bb
So I turn to higher powers
C        Dm            Bb
Like all desperate men do
C     Dm        Bb
And I pray to a god I don't believe in
F                  C
To deliver me from you
Dm           C       Bb
But fateless prayers are rarely answered
Dm      C          Bb
Just as well I'm already on my knees
F   C            Dm       Bb
I'm just another doubting Thomas
Gm                     Bb
A disciple who can't believe
 
[Chorus]
         Dm C Bb
Until he sees
         Dm C Bb
Until he sees
 
[Verse 4]
C           Dm         Bb
Now you are somewhere across the waters
C    Dm              Bb
I am still in London town
C     Dm          Bb
And I know all my way past St. Stephen's
F
That the rain (that the rain)
    C
The rain's (that the rain)
 
Still coming down
Dm          C       Bb
Oh that the rain is never-ending
Dm                C         Bb
In these borrowed days that spring finds hard to trust
F           C        Dm        Bb
I guess the rain was trying to tell us
Gm          Bb
Love left untended
 
[Chorus]
         Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
         Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
         Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
         Dm C Bb
Tends to rust
