Any day now I will hear you say
Goodbye my love
You'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now I'll be all alone
Whoa, whoa whoa


Any day now, when your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Whoa whoa whoa


I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay, yeh
Until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay


Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Whoa whoa whoa


Whoa any day now
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa any day now
Don't fly away my beautiful bird


Don't fly away my beautiful bird




(G) Any day now (Bm) I wil hear you say
Goodbye my (C) love
(Am&7) You'll be on your (Eb) way
Then my wild (G) beautiful (Bm) bird
You will have (C) flown (Eb)
Any (G) day now  I'll be all (Am) alone (C)
Oh, oh, (G) oh

Any day now, when your restless eyes
Meet someone new
To my sad surprise
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now
Love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

(Em) I know I shouldn't want to (Bm7) keep you
If you (Em) don't want to (C)  stay, yeah (D)
(Em) Until you've gone for(Bm7)ever
I'll be (Em) holding (D) on for dear (Em) life
Holding you this (Am) way
(C) Begging you to (G) stay

Any day now, when the clock strikes go
You'll call it of
Then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadow will fall all over town
Any day now, love will let me down
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, any day now
Oh, oh, oh
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
