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

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