Birds

D A F#m E 2x

[Verse]
D                        A                        F#m         E
I've been skimming the paper, I've been scrolling around
D                        A                             F#m         E
I've been trying to get up, but something's holding me down
D                      A                  F#m    E
I've been shutting my eyes but getting no rest, no
D                   A                               F#m         E
I've been trying to leave but can't get out of this nest


[Pre Chorus]
D                        A
I left the stove on yesterday, and I
F#m                   E
Put on a coat in the middle of May, and I
D                 A           F#m  E                D
Wonder how many birds would it ta-a-ake to carry me away?


[Chorus]
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah


[Verse]
D                        A                 F#m     E
I've been taking days off so I can do work
D                     A                      F#m     E
I've been trying to smile but all I get is a smirk
D                      A                      F#m     E
And I'm starting to see the day made way for the night
D                           A                      F#m     E
I'm not scared of the ocean but I'm stuck in the tide


[Pre Chorus]
D              A
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
F#m            E
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
D                 A           F#m  E                D
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?


[Chorus]
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah


[Bridge]
Bm              F#m
I used to feel well
             E
I used to be okay

Now I'm a man inside another metal cage
Bm              F#m
But I can hear them call
             E
They're never far away

Can you hear them?
Bm              F#m
I used to sleep at night
             E
But now I lie awake

Dreaming up the perfect plan for my escape
Bm              F#m
But I can hear them call
             E
To carry me away


[Chorus 2]
            D
To carry me away
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah

            D
To carry me away
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah


[Pre Chorus]
D              A
Headed out to Santa Fe, but I
F#m            E
Broke down on Avenue A, and I
D                 A           F#m  E                D
Wonder how many birds would it take to carry me away?


[Chorus]
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah

            D
To carry me away
 A   F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E
Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah, away Yeah
