[Verse 1]
C#
I kept the bottle we drank from together
C#
I don't know, is that insane?
F# C#
It's just every once in a while you've
G#
Got to remind yourself
G#
That it's you against the rain
G# C#
And I'm not sure yet who will win
C#
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
C#
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
F#
And dine there as well
C#
In the eyes of the other
G#
Breaking bread over anecdotes
G#
Of what, I don't know
C#
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
A#m G#
And bird, if I held you too tight
F# C# C#
Bird, if you were warm through the night
G#
I will let go
F#
As wide as the storm that does brew
G# F#
I will let go of you
F# G# C# C#
I will let go of you
[Verse 2]
C#
Some days are harder than other days
C#
As I wait like strings to be plucked
F# C#
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
G# G#7 C#
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
A#m Fm G# G#
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
F# C# C#
As I pressed myself to your lips
G#
I'll release you
G#7 F#
With what is left of your wings
G# F#
I will leave you to sing
G# C# C#
I will leave you to sing
[Instrumental]

A#m G# G#
And bird, if love went awry
F# D#m C# C#
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
G# G#7 F#
I'll look away so that you can fly away
G# F#
I'll even lead you astray
G# F#
I will lead you astray
G# F#
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
G# F#
I will lead you (astray)
G# F#
(Lead you astray)
G# F#
(Lead you astray)
G# F#
(Lead you astray)
G# F#
(Lead you astray)
