Intro.: D G5

Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side

Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
A7 G
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
A7sus D5 G5 D5
I'm gonna let him fly

Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye

But you can't recall just where or why

So there was really nothing to it

I just went and cut right through it

There's no mercy in a live wire

No rest at all in freedom
G Em7
Choices we are given
Bm7
It's no choice at all... uh huh
G A
The proof is in the fire
D Bm7 F#m7
You touch before it moves away ...yeah
Em7
But you must always know
A
How long to stay and when to go
D
And there ain't no talkin' to this man
D/F#
He's been trying to tell me so
G
It took a while to understand

The beauty of just letting go
G
Cause it would take an acrobat
Em7
A7sus
And I already tried all that
D5 G5 D5
I'm gonna let him fly

I'm gonna let him fly... fly... whoa.....

I'm gonna let him fly.....
