Intro:

G  D  Em C


Verse 1:
 G              D
I was your songbird for a time
 Em                           C
Sang you to sleep 'til the words weren't right
 G                     D
You always kept your back to the light
 Em                         C
I'd count your breaths 'til the sun would rise
 G                  D
I was your songbird, you were nice
 Em                        C
Oh, how I loved being the thing you liked
 G                  D
I had a room where I could fly
 Em                  C
'Til I hit the ceiling I thought was my sky

Pre-chorus:

D            Em                         C
Ooh, I don't know where to go, what I'm doing
D         Em                       C
Ooh, only know what I've lost if I lose it


Chorus:

G                D
I can't give you any more
 Em                    C
My bones feel hollow, my throat's getting sore
G                 D
Nothing's fair in love and war
Em                               C
Your favorite songs, they aren't mine anymore
G           D
Loved being somebody good for you
Em        C
Wish that you were good for me too
G              D
We both know I havе to leave
 Em                     C                    G
But I hope a songbird will always rеmind you of me

Verse 2:

 G                D
Tried to bring you to the sky
 Em                     C
I can't force out your fear of heights
 G                 D
It's not your fault, babe, it's alright
 Em                            C
The same thing looks different to two sets of eyes
