♫ Verse 1:
B               C         B       C      B
Sorry that I'm scared of thunder like a dog
                         B
I know that you love rain
       C          B        C         B
But I cry when something shakes the walls
                  B
Tail between my legs
     C          B      C
I scratch while you relax
           B                 B
Ruffling feathers watching storm clouds pass
B            C        B         C      B
Hoping I'll make you hate the thunder too
B        C      B       C       B
Digging in my claws to make you hate me too
C

♫ Chorus:
         B                  Gm
I can't stand you in my bed
              C
You're too gentle I need you to
B                 Gm   C
hurt me back instead
       B
I wish I could take you back to California
Gm                          C
Where you'd never heard of creatures like me
B
Little bird won't you fly away
B
Little bird won't you fly away

♫ Verse 2:
     B         C      B     C     B
And sorry that I roll over to my folks
                         B
It's not that I'm ashamed
          C      B       C        B
But they keep me on the leash to choke
                   B
I'm a hunting breed
     C      B       C
And bird is all they eat
         B                    B
If they sniff you out, they gnash their teeth
        B      C       B      C      B
I'm a coward scared of living outside
      B      C       B       C       B
Even if it means I crush you at my side
C

I need you to hurt me back instead
        B
I wish I could take you back to California
Gm                         C
Where you'd never heard of creatures like me
B
Little bird won't you fly away

Little bird won't you fly away

♫ Bridge:
          Gm  Gm
When the bell rings
N.C.
My mouth waters
      C  C
I'm a habit
N.C.
That won't alter
          B
I'm an instinct
Don't you fear me?
B
Hunting songbirds in my sleep

♫ Outro:
B          C        B        C         B
Sorry that I don't treat you like I should
                      B
I only lick my wounds
      C         B
Teeth bared, and snap
         C           B
"You're all that's good"
                    B
If I chase you away
    C        B         C
I'm back to chasing tail
          B            B
Running circles after what was real
     B         C         B       C        B
And maybe one day I'll catch it and I'll cry
B             C       B       C         B
Wishing that little songbird was still mine
