A             F#m      D        
You said I'll come back, I'll 
             A     F#m   D
come back for you my love, wait for 
me
A                   F#m    D    
You said you're the only, you've
                A    F#m   D     
 been the only one I love, and 
            A
love believes

[Chorus]
F#m              D          A   
But love is a bird that you kept
         E     F#m   D       A  
 in your coat, warm until it 
         E
died in the dark
    F#m           D            A 
And death is the love of what 
            E
hurts you the most
        D                      
So you drink your day away till 
                         A
you're warm as paradise
A       G#m      F#m       
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I 
           D           A
called to say I'm fine
A           G#m       F#m        
And I heard you had another love,
 D                                 
 but I'd love you to think I don't 
   A
mind
A                G#m        F#m 
The baby in your arms ain't 
        D                          
mine, but I made believe as though 
 A
it was
A                    G#m        
And I didn't mean to call this 
F#m                     D
late but I think I'm in love With 
the thought of us

[Bridge]
A F#m D A x2 (6 down mute 5 down)

A
So you drink your day away till the 
liquor in your mouth laughs,
F#m
And mirrors paint you beautiful like
 older photographs,
             D                     
But we grow, we grow old, even this
           A
 won't last
A
No one understands, no one cares at 
all
F#m
And they're tearing down our sacred 
places in the hall
D                                 
You know I hate to dance, still 
                            A
you ask, still you ask for my hand
A                           
I love you like the kids love 
           F#m
throwing bottles off the bridge
             A                   
And breaking in to trade your fix 
        D           A
for American shoes
     F#m
For American shoes,
           A             D
I've been dying to lie awake in a 
room for two
A   F#m    D                    
I'll come back, I'll come back 
    A  F#m D
for you my love

[Chorus]
F#m              D          A   
But love is a bird that you kept
         E     F#m   D       A  
 in your coat, warm until it

So you drink your day away till 
                         A
you're warm as paradise
A       G#m      F#m       
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I 
           D           A
