Chords with lyrics

Peter Doherty - Birdcage


    B minorBm    A augmentedA
Little bird in a cage

G+G           F#F#
 you?ve been turning heads around her

  B minorBm     A augmentedA
You played your part

G+G             F#F#
 You signed your lot under their instruction

G+G                 F#F#
Looking through the bars, staring at the stars

B minorBm   A augmentedA    G+G    F#F#
 Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity

 and

 B minorBm       E MajorE   F#F#
 one by one and day by day

B minorBm           E MajorE   F#F#
 see the good ones they fall away

B minorBm            E MajorE      F#F#
I see you standing your style and you know you should be

B minorBm            E MajorE       F#F#
 sorry


B minorBm           G+G    F#F#
You said, that we could never be together

B minorBm          G+G    F#F#
You?re too pretty and I'm too clever


B minorBm              G+G       F#F#
 Good morning heartache and these foolish things


B minorBm   A augmentedA    G+G    F#F#
 Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity

B minorBm               A augmentedA         G+G     F#F#
Love is the bread. Love is the wine. Love is the soul?s hot coals


B minorBm     G+G         F#F#
?Why?? the caged bird always sings

B minorBm            G+G        F#F#
through the ages, for the pleasure of the kings

B minorBm                      G+G        F#F#
Lying down with a thorn in your crown they?re calling out your name

      B minorBm   G+G    F#F#
You slip away
