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

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

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
