Time for Me to Fly chords
R.E.O. Speedwagon
There are other versions of this, but this is the one I play. I hadn't heard it in
years, then it was on the radio the other day and I said, "Oh yeah!" As I recall
I watched Kevin play it this way on Austin City Limits or something a looooooong
time ago. I like it because it's all open chords (just slide E up and down the neck),
and it seems to carry a little more of the pain and sadness with it.
YMMV.

I've been around for you
B
I've been up and down for you
A E Esus4/E/Esus4/E
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
B
I've lived and lied for you
A E Esus4/E/Esus4/E
But you still make me feel like a thief
B
You got me stealing your love away
A E
Cause you never give it
B
Peeling the years away
A E
And we can't relive it
A E
I make you laugh
A E A/B (let the B ring)
And you make me cry

I believe it's time for me to fly
E
You said we'd work it out
B
You said that you had no doubt
A E Esus4/E/Esus4/E
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
B
To a feeling I know is gone
A E Esus4/E/Esus4/E
I do believe that I've had enough
B
I've had enough of the falseness
A E
Of a worn out relation
B
Enough of the jealousy
A E
And the in toleration
A E
I make you laugh
A E A/B (let the B ring)
And you make me cry

I believe it's time for me to fly
