Ralph McTell - Let me fly or let me fall

I ^Cused to wind you up You ^Emused to calm me down You ^Amlet me play the martyr So that ^FI could act the clown The ^Dmdifference between the church and ^Gstage Is ^Cwhether we're enlightened or am^Fazed The ma^Fgician or the ^Gpriest Take a ^Clittle bit from ^Feach And ^Dmhope some of the magic always ^Gstays.

I ^Cused to make you laugh And you ^Emused to make me think You ^Ampulled me from the edge Oh, when ^FI was on the brink Now you ^Dmbetter let me fly or let me ^Gfall It can ^Csometimes fire the engines when they ^Fstall To ^Ffloat without the ^Gdrive Is just ^Cbeing half al^Five And bet^Dmween the two of us there must be ^Gmore.

You ^Cused to make me smile I ^Emused to turn you on The ^Amflame may flicker sometimes Ah but ^Flove has never gone And if ^Dmanything right now I need you ^Gmore Is that a ^Cheartbeat or a tapping at your ^Fdoor? A ^Fsense that something's ^Gwrong A weak^Cening of something ^Fstrong Like a ^Dmlion with a splinter in his ^Gpaw.

^CBetter take some chances ^EmDo not lose your nerve ^AmRoll into the corners And then ^Fdrive out of the curve ^DmSometimes you might hear the tires ^Gsqueal They're only ^Ctrying to get a grip on what is ^Freal. We're not ^Fgoing any^Gwhere If there ^Cis no rush of ^Fair And you ^Dmcannot feel the road beneath the ^Gwheels.
