[Intro]
A Asus2 Asus4 Asus2 A Asus2 Asus4 Asus2 A
A Asus2 Asus4 Asus2 A Asus2 Asus4 Asus2 A

[Verse]
A C D A
I really wanted to change I just didn't know how
A C D A
To make my life re-arrange using all I knew now
A C D A
I put the hose on the fire, the fire of my rage
A C D A
I let the rain fall on the desert to wash away my pain

[Chorus]
E D Dmaj7 D
And then I flew for forty days and forty nights
E D Dmaj7 D
Forty days and forty nights,
E D Dmaj7 D A Asus2 A
Forty days and forty nights Before I came down

[Verse]
A C D A
I gathered strenght and climbed a tree highest one that I could find
A C D A
You know from up there I could see everything every one I left behind
A C D A
All at once I started to fly I made a mighty flapping sound
A C D A
So many friends up in the sky I never looked down

[Chorus]
E D Dmaj7 D
And then I flew for forty days and forty nights
E D Dmaj7 D
Forty days and forty nights,
E D Dmaj7 D A Asus2 A
Forty days and forty nights Before I came down

[Bridge]
C#m Bm Bsus2 Bm
And only later did I realize why
C#m Bm Bsus2 Bm
So much later did I know my mission
C#m Bm Bsus2 Bm
And when I did I started to cry
D E
It was you I was missing

[Instrumental]
A C D A A C D A A C D A A C D A

[Chorus]
E D Dmaj7 D
And then I flew for forty days and forty nights
E D Dmaj7 D
Forty days and forty nights,
E D Dmaj7 D A Asus2 A
Forty days and forty nights Before I came down

[Outro]
A C D A
I really wanted to change I just didn't know how
