G       Cadd9          G     Cadd9
I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
            F         Bb           F      Bb
About the places that I'd like to see
        Cadd9          D            Em
I say "Friend do you think I'll ever get there?"
      Cadd9                    D             G
Aw, but he just stands there smiling back at me
             G       Cadd9          G     Cadd9
So I confess my sins to the preacher
            F            Bb         F     Bb
About the love I've been praying to find
        Cadd9          D            Em
Is there a brown eyed boy in my future
      Cadd9                    D             G
And he says, "Girl, you've got nothing but time"

[Chorus]
     D                  Cadd9  G
But how do you wait for heaven
        D            Cadd9 G
And who has that much time
     Am G/B    Cadd9  D        Em7 D/F#     G
And how do you keep your feet on   the ground
         Cadd9               D  Dsus4 D5
When you know that you were born,        you were born to fly

[Verse 2]
G            Cadd9          G     Cadd9
My daddy is grounded like the oak tree
F                Bb            F      Bb
My momma she is steady as the sun
                             Cadd9             D            Em
Oh, you know I love my folks, but I keep staring down the road
      Cadd9                    D             G
Just looking for my one chance to run
G            Cadd9          G     Cadd9
Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
      F             Bb           F     Bb
I will blow in the wind like a seed
       Cadd9     D            Em
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
      Cadd9                    D             G
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

[Chorus]
     D                  Cadd9  G
But how do you wait for heaven
        D            Cadd9 G
And who has that much time
     Am G/B    Cadd9  D        Em7 D/F#     G
And how do you keep your feet on   the ground
         Cadd9               D  Dsus4 D5
When you know that you were born       
            Am  G/B C D                        G
You were born, yeah,   you were born to fly
