Birdcage chords by Pete Doherty

Peter Doherty - Birdcage


       Bm        A
Little bird in a cage

G                     F#
  you've been turning heads around her

    Bm          A
You played your part

G                          F#
 You signed your lot under their instruction

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

Bm     A        G        F#
  Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity


 and

 Bm             E      F#
 one by one and day by day

Bm                      E      F#
 see the good ones they fall away

Bm                        E           F#
I see you standing your style and you know you should be

Bm                       E             F#
 sorry



Bm                      G        F#
You said, that we could never be together

Bm                    G       F#
You're too pretty and I'm too clever


Bm                           G             F#
  Good morning heartache and these foolish things


Bm     A        G        F#
  Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity

Bm                             A                 G          F#
Love is the bread. Love is the wine. Love is the soul?s hot coals


Bm         G                  F#
?Why?? the caged bird always sings

Bm                        G               F#
through the ages, for the pleasure of the kings

Bm                                            G                F#
Lying down with a thorn in your crown they're calling out your name

           Bm      G       F#
You slip away
