♫ Intro:

Am7 D G G/F# Em x2


♫ Verse 1:
Em            Am7
All I want to know
   D
Is why
               G  G/F#
We were thrown together
   Em
If we
                  Am7
Were not meant to weather
     D
This world
        G G/F#   Em
Hand in hand
                 Am7
I don’t know the plan
   D
Or if
                G G/F#
There is one at all
   Em
It seems
                Am7
We were left to fall

No branch to break us
D
Only sky to take us
G                   G/F#    Em
But the ground gets closer everyday
Am7 D
Ahh…


♫ Chorus:
Am7
Like a blackbird with one
D
Crimson feather
    G     G/F#
I cannot hide you
  Em
I forget how to be clever
     Am7
When I see you
  D
I am

Like a child
        G             G/F#
Have no conscience or forgiveness
       Em
And my heart is soft and wild
    Am7    D
And unruly too


♫ Interlude:
Am7 D G G/F# Em x2


♫ Verse 2:
Em            Am7
All I want to see
   D
Is where
                 G  G/F#
We might someday be
   Em
If our
                   Am7
Love were made for free
        D
But the cost
       G  G/F#   Em
Is so high
             Am7
Written on a slate
   D
In chalk
             G  G/F#
You being to fade
     Em
As I walk
            Am7
And I am so afraid

It's time to leave you
D
No I don’t believe you
G           G/F#       Em
Though I never had you anyway
Am7 D
Ahh…


♫ Chorus:
Am7
Like a blackbird with one
D
Crimson feather
    G    G/F#
I cannot hide you
  Em
I forget how to be clever
     Am7
When I see you
  D
I am
D
Like a child
        G             G/F#
Have no conscience or forgiveness
       Em
And my heart is soft and wild
    Am7    D
And unruly too

Am7 D G G/F# Em x2
