Intro:
             B                   F#m
All of these birds, all of these birds in my head
         E
Swarming around, pecking to keep me up and i can't come down
B                             F#m
All of these words building a house in my head
             E                                                  D#m
Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up and i can't come down

Verse 1:
C#m                E
The carnage of the cardinals they haunt me
G#m                F#
The buzzing of the hummingbirds ignite me
C#m              E
The ravens got a carnival that's rocking
   G#m            F#
me wide awake like there's nothing at stake
C#m               E
'Cause i was born as perfect as the skies are
G#m                      F#
head latched open to the skylark
          C#m                F                  G#m
But now my brain's a prision for the flight, oh get out of my head
               F#
Get out of my head
                 E C#m G#m F#
Get out of my head

Chorus:
B                               F#m
All of these birds, all of these birds in my head
         E
Swarming around, pecking to keep me up and i can't come down
B                             F#m
All of these words building a house in my head
             E                                                  D#m
Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up and i can't come down

Verse 2:
C#m               E
The murmur of the starling song is maddening
G#m                      F#
The murder of the crowns is coming at me
C#m                 E
The ticking of the clock is trying to mock me
G#m                 F#
I'm wide awake like there's nothing at stake
C#m                  E
Cause I am still the architect of this cage
G#m               F#
and I set all the raptors on a rampage
C#m                           E                     G#m
Begging for a rapture, for an escape, get out of my head
               F#
Get out of my head
                 E C#m G#m F#
Get out of my head
                E C#m F#
Get out of my head

Bridge:
G#m        F#                   E
I feel the madness wrapping me up here
C#m        F#                     G#m
Sun in my eyes, it's a beautiful sun
G#m        F#                   E
I feel the madness wrapping me up here
C#m                               F#
Open the latch, let me into the light

Chorus:
B                               F#m
All of these birds, all of these birds in my head
         E
Swarming around, pecking to keep me up and i can't come down
B                             F#m
All of these words building a house in my head
             E
Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up and i can't come down
