Key: G

Verse:
 G
Stomach is hollow I sip from my coffee
Em                     D
I let myself slowly swim up to the surface
 G
I just came back from a trip to the city
  Em                            D
Where people walk places like they have a purpose
  G
Now that I'm back, well the quiet is different
 Em                D
It feels like a memory but I can't quite place it
  G
I wish I could freeze if the time keeps on moving
  Em                     D
And then you get used to the fall on your face

  Em                  Am                 G     B
No one come calling I'm listening to the birds
  Em                   Am                          G     B
They tell me stories that you could not fathom with words
 Em                               Am                G     B
I've been waiting my whole life to feel like I truly belong
 C                 D             G
With the backyard and the birds and their songs


G
I wasn't gone in two weeks but the trees have grown older
Em                       D
reaching over the bushes like shelter and I think
G
that this what it's like you get older and older
Em                             D
and write about backyards and birds and their songs
G
and this feeling I have well it ain't too familiar
Em                        D
and favouring the singing while shooting the breeze
G
While some voice in my head says check over your shoulder
  Em                       D
but all that I find are the Garden of Eve


  Em                  Am                 G     B
No one come calling I'm listening to the birds
  Em                   Am                          G     B
They tell me stories that you could not fathom with words
 Em                               Am                G     B
I've been waiting my whole life to feel like I truly belong
 C                 D             G
With the backyard and the birds and their songs


  Em                  Am                 G     B
No one come calling I'm listening to the birds
  Em                   Am                          G     B
They tell me stories that you could not fathom with words
 Em                               Am                G     B
I've been waiting my whole life to feel like I truly belong
 C                 D
With the backyard and the birds
 C                 D
With the backyard and the birds
 C                 D             G
With the backyard and the birds and their songs
