Birds

D A F#m E 2x

[Verse]
D                        A       
I've been skimming the paper, 
                 F#m         E
I've been scrolling around
D                        A   
I've been trying to get up, but 
                          F#m      
something's holding me down
   E

D                      A    
I've been shutting my eyes but 
              F#m    E
getting no rest, no
D                   A            
I've been trying to leave but 
                   F#m         E
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          
Wonder how many birds would it 
 F#m  E                D
ta-a-ake to carry me away?


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


[Verse]
D                        A       
I've been taking days off so I 
          F#m     E
can do work
D                     A          
I've been trying to smile but all
            F#m     E
 I get is a smirk
D                      A         
And I'm starting to see the day 
             F#m     E
made way for the night
D                           A    
I'm not scared of the ocean but 
                  F#m     E
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
Wonder how many birds would it 
  E                D
take to carry me away?


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

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


[Pre Chorus]

take to carry me away?
