A       F#m7  Fmaj7  E       A  F#m7  Dm
Home,               home and dry
        E      A      F#m7  Dm
Like a homing bird I fly
      G       C    Am  Esus4  E [FILL]
As a bird on wing

F                                          
 Whatever happened to
F#o7/A
 The life that we once knew
G                         A
 Can we really live without each other?
F
 Where did we lose the touch?
F#o7/A
 That seemed to mean so much
G                 Esus4 E
 It always made me feel so

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I fly
           C    E+  G
A bird on wing

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew
Always made me feel so free
