INTRO: C Dm C Dm C
VERSE 1:
C Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
C Dm
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Dm F C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
CHORUS:
Am G
Bites on above
C F
But never would form
Am G C Am
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
G C F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am Gsus4 C Dm
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm Am G C
VERSE 2:
C Dm
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
Dm F C
All of that goodness is going with you now
C Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
Dm F C
All of my goodness is going with you now
CHORUS:
Am G C F
Driving along, fall on your thorn
Am G C Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Am G C F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am Gsus4 C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm G C
C Dm Am G C
VERSE 3:
C Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Dm F C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
C Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Dm F C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
CHORUS:
Am G
I was hatched by your warmth
C F
Thus transformed
Am G C Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am G C F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am Gsus4 C
