[Verse 1]
D
I kept the bottle we drank from together
D
I don't know, is that insane?
G D
It's just every once in a while you've
A
Got to remind yourself
A
That it's you against the rain
A D
And I'm not sure yet who will win
D
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
D
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
G
And dine there as well
D
In the eyes of the other
A
Breaking bread over anecdotes
A
Of what, I don't know
D
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
Bm A
And bird, if I held you too tight
G D D
Bird, if you were warm through the night
A
I will let go
G
As wide as the storm that does brew
A G
I will let go of you
G A D D
I will let go of you
[Verse 2]
D
Some days are harder than other days
D
As I wait like strings to be plucked
G D
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
A A7 D
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
Bm F#m A A
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
G D D
As I pressed myself to your lips
A
I'll release you
A7 G
With what is left of your wings
A G
I will leave you to sing
A D D
I will leave you to sing

Bm A A
And bird, if love went awry
G Em D D
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
A A7 G
I'll look away so that you can fly away
A G
I'll even lead you astray
A G
I will lead you astray
A G
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
A G
I will lead you (astray)
A G
(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
