[Verse 1]
E
I kept the bottle we drank from together
E
I don't know, is that insane?
A E
It's just every once in a while you've
B
Got to remind yourself
B
That it's you against the rain
B E
And I'm not sure yet who will win
E
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
E
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
A
And dine there as well
E
In the eyes of the other
B
Breaking bread over anecdotes
B
Of what, I don't know
E
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
C#m B
And bird, if I held you too tight
A E E
Bird, if you were warm through the night
B
I will let go
A
As wide as the storm that does brew
B A
I will let go of you
A B E E
I will let go of you
[Verse 2]
E
Some days are harder than other days
E
As I wait like strings to be plucked
A E
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
B B7 E
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
C#m G#m B B
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
A E E
As I pressed myself to your lips
B
I'll release you
B7 A
With what is left of your wings
B A
I will leave you to sing
B E E
I will leave you to sing

C#m B B
And bird, if love went awry
A F#m E E
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
B B7 A
I'll look away so that you can fly away
B A
I'll even lead you astray
B A
I will lead you astray
B A
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
B A
I will lead you (astray)
B A
(Lead you astray)
B A
(Lead you astray)
B A
(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
