A Bird Song

(Verso)
D        A            B
When I would play my song
G            D     A
You used to sing along.
D         A         B
I always seem to forget
G          A           D
How fragile are the very strong.

D        A          B
I'm sorry I can't steal you
G        D        A
I'm sorry I can't stay
D         Bbm         Bm      Bm/A
So I put band-aids on your knees
G       A       D    A4/E  D9/F#
And watch you fly away

(Refrão)
G           Bm    A    D   D9/F#
I'm sending you away tonight
G                  Bm        A   A4
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G          Bm        A           Bm
I'm saving you the best way I know how
G                 A             D
I hope again one day to hear you sing


(Verso)
D          A           B
You know we're not so far away
G           D     A         A4  A
Get on a boat, get on a train
D         A          B
And if you ever think you're drowning
G             A           D
I'll try to slow the rain

D        A       B
In two years or so
G        D       A
Drop me a line
D          Bbm            Bm
I hope to find you're doing better
D7            G       A       D   A4/E  D9/F#
Better than today, better everyday

(Refrão)
G            Bm   A     D   D/F#
I'm sending you away tonight
G                 Bm          A    A4 A
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G          Bm       A            Bm
I'm saving you the best way I know how
G                A             Bm  Bm/A
I hope again one day to hear you sing
G          Bm       A            D  D9/F#
I'm saving you the only way that I know how
G                 A             Bm      Bm/A
I hope again one day to hear you sing
G              Bbm              Bm          D7         G       A
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile back around again
