A Bird Song

(Verso)
D    A        B
When I would play my song
G       D     A
You used to sing along.
D      A     B
I always seem to forget
G      A         D
How fragile are the very strong.

D      A       B
I'm sorry I can't steal you
G      D      A
I'm sorry I can't stay
D      Bbm       Bm     Bm/A
So I put band-aids on your knees
G    A     D   A4/E  D9/F#
And watch you fly away

(Refrão)
G       Bm    A  D  D9/F#
I'm sending you away tonight
Continues after the ad
G              Bm        A  A4
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G       Bm       A       Bm
I'm saving you the best way I know 
how
G           A        D
I hope again one day to hear you 
sing


(Verso)
D      A       B
You know we're not so far away
G       D    A      A4   A
Get on a boat, get on a train
D       A      B
And if you ever think you're 
drowning
G             A       D
I'll try to slow the rain

D      A    B
In two years or so
G     D     A
Drop me a line
D       Bbm          Bm
I hope to find you're doing better
D7        G     A      D   A4/E
Better than today, better 
 D9/F#
everyday
