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


Interlude:

G  D  Em  C


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


Pre-Chorus:

D            Em                         C
Ooh, I don't know where to go, what I'm doing
D            Em                     C
Ooh, I still love you and that's so confusing


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                D
Don't mean to be cold (Oh, it's not you)
Em              C
Sitting in your clothes (I don't want to)
G           D
But I gotta go (Oh, it's not you)
Em                 C
(Oh, it's not you, oh, it's not you)


Chorus:

G                D
I can't love you any more

My bones feel hollow, my throat's getting sore

Nothing's fair in love and war
