A Birds Song chords by Ingrid Michaelson

Guitar chords with lyrics

B minorBm
When I would play my song
A augmentedA
You used to sing along.
B minorBm
I always seem to forget
D MajorD
How fragile are the very strong.

B minorBm
I'm sorry I can't steal you
A augmentedA
I'm sorry I can't stay
B minorBm
So I put band-aids on your knees
D MajorD
And watch you fly away

Chorus:
D MajorD
I'm sending you away tonight
A augmentedA
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
D MajorD
I'm saving you the best way I know how
D MajorD
I hope again one day to hear you sing

(same as above)

Verse:
You know we're not so far away
Get on a boat, get on a train
And if you ever think you're drowning
I'll try to slow the rain
In two years or so
Drop me a line
Write me a letter
I hope to find you're doing better, better than today, better everyday


Chorus:
I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I'm saving you the only way that I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
D MajorD
