[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
E
Got to remind yourself
E
That it's you against the rain
E 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
E
Breaking bread over anecdotes
E
Of what, I don't know
A
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
F#m E
And bird, if I held you too tight
D A A
Bird, if you were warm through the night
E
I will let go
D
As wide as the storm that does brew
E D
I will let go of you
D E 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
E E7 A
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
F#m C#m E E
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
D A A
As I pressed myself to your lips
E
I'll release you
E7 D
With what is left of your wings
E D
I will leave you to sing
E A A
I will leave you to sing

F#m E E
And bird, if love went awry
D Bm A A
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
E E7 D
I'll look away so that you can fly away
E D
I'll even lead you astray
E D
I will lead you astray
E D
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
E D
I will lead you (astray)
E D
(Lead you astray)
E D
(Lead you astray)
E D
(Lead you astray)
E D
(Lead you astray)
