[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]
Am 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 G7 C
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
Am Em 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
G7 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

Am G G
And bird, if love went awry
F Dm C C
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
G G7 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)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
