Verse 1:
D MajorD
I thought I knew the wind, I listened in
D MajorD                 G+G
This smoke and clay, they wore me thin
G+G                                    D MajorD
We're spinning on a syllable that has the gall to bring the whole world down
  D MajorD
We tape it up and wear it out
  D MajorD                    G+G
We let the blood soak through our calloused skin
G+G                                D MajorD
Take all of my lies and try to tie the knots that I can do without

Chorus:
   G+G
When I was a bird
    G+G           D MajorD
I could see where the moon had turned
  G+G
The sky was alive
     G+G      D MajorD
And this wire of mine burned
   B minorBm        A augmentedA          G+G
Been lying with these words the whole damn time

Interlude:
D MajorD

Verse 2:
   D MajorD
When did my tongue begin to slow me
D MajorD                 G+G
Let me take my time while keeping pace
  G+G
We break it down, the right and wrong
  G+G                D MajorD
The thorns and roots I grew before I knew you

D MajorD
Witness all these pretty colors
D MajorD                  G+G
Learning to behave, this ain't no race
G+G
Hear me through this dying day
  G+G                   D MajorD
And all the words that were not meant for you

Chorus:
   G+G
When I was a bird
    G+G           D MajorD
I could see where the moon had turned
  G+G
The sky was alive
     G+G      D MajorD
And this wire of mine burned
   B minorBm        A augmentedA          G+G
Been sleeping with the truth the whole damn time

    D MajorD
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
    D MajorD
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
    D MajorD
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G  D MajorD G+G
Ááááá

And this wire of mine burned
   B minorBm        A augmentedA         G+G   A augmentedA  D MajorD
Been sleeping next to you the whole damn time
