Intro
A# A# A# A#
[Verse 1]
A#
I kept the bottle we drank from together
A#
I don't know, is that insane?
D# A#
It's just every once in a while you've
F
Got to remind yourself
F
That it's you against the rain
F A#
And I'm not sure yet who will win
A#
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
A#
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
D#
And dine there as well
A#
In the eyes of the other
F
Breaking bread over anecdotes
F
Of what, I don't know
A#
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
Gm F
And bird, if I held you too tight
D# A# A#
Bird, if you were warm through the night
F
I will let go
D#
As wide as the storm that does brew
F D#
I will let go of you
D# F A# A#
I will let go of you
[Verse 2]
A#
Some days are harder than other days
A#
As I wait like strings to be plucked
D# A#
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
F F7 A#
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
Gm Dm F F
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
D# A# A#
As I pressed myself to your lips
F
I'll release you
F7 D#
With what is left of your wings
F D#
I will leave you to sing
F A# A#
I will leave you to sing
[Instrumental]

Gm F F
And bird, if love went awry
D# Cm A# A#
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
F F7 D#
I'll look away so that you can fly away
F D#
I'll even lead you astray
F D#
I will lead you astray
F D#
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
F D#
I will lead you (astray)
F D#
(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
