I don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is

                      Cm                              Eb
i don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is
 - all i need for you to know is -

Verse - same chords as before -:
your faith in me brings me to tears ,
even after all these years
and it pains me so much to tell , 
that you don't know me that well

Pre-Chorus:
                       Eb         F
and though my love is rare-ar-ar-are

though my love is true-u-u-ue

Chorus:
Bb                               F
i'm like a bird, i'll only fly away
                      Cm                             Eb
I don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is
- and baby all I need for you to know is -
Bb                              F
i'm like a bird, i'll only fly away
                      Cm                              Eb
i don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is
 - all i need for you to know is -

Bridge:
      Eb 
it's not that i wanna say goodbye
      Gm                        
it's just that every time you try 
     Eb               F
to tell me that you lo-o-ve me
 Eb                       Gm
each and every single day i know
                                Eb          F
i'm going to have to eventually give you away-yeh-yeah

and though my love is rare
and though my love is true
hey i'm just scared
that we may fall through

Chorus - x3 -:
Bb                               F
i'm like a bird, i'll only fly away
                      Cm                             Eb
I don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is
- and baby all I need for you to know is -
Bb                              F
i'm like a bird, i'll only fly away
                      Cm                              Eb
i don't know where my soul is, i don't know where my home is
