[Verse 1]
G
I kept the bottle we drank from together
G
I don't know, is that insane?
C G
It's just every once in a while you've
D
Got to remind yourself
D
That it's you against the rain
D G
And I'm not sure yet who will win
G
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
G
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
C
And dine there as well
G
In the eyes of the other
D
Breaking bread over anecdotes
D
Of what, I don't know
G
But something funny, I'm sure
[Chorus]
Em D
And bird, if I held you too tight
C G G
Bird, if you were warm through the night
D
I will let go
C
As wide as the storm that does brew
D C
I will let go of you
C D G G
I will let go of you
[Verse 2]
G
Some days are harder than other days
G
As I wait like strings to be plucked
C G
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
D D7 G
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
[Chorus]
Em Bm D D
And bird, if your wings have gone clipped
C G G
As I pressed myself to your lips
D
I'll release you
D7 C
With what is left of your wings
D C
I will leave you to sing
D G G
I will leave you to sing

Em D D
And bird, if love went awry
C Am G G
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
D D7 C
I'll look away so that you can fly away
D C
I'll even lead you astray
D C
I will lead you astray
D C
I will lead you astray
[Outro]
D C
I will lead you (astray)
D C
(Lead you astray)
