[Verse 1]
When you [Am]left
here this [F]morning
You were [C]a broken bird
You said you can't [Am]turn
out [F]the fire
You can't turn out [C]a fire
Your senses were [Am]widened
Your smile was hid[F]ing what you
[C]Want nobody [G]to see
Broken [Dm]bird, now [F]you're free
When [Am]you called from the pay [F]phone
You were a paper [C]doll
Said I couldn't [Am]tear you up [F]easy
As weak as you [C]were and
as strong as [G]I was
You think [Am]I'm stronger
I think you're [F]wrong, girl
It's not [C]easy to give you [G]away
Still [Dm]you call just [G]to say
Just to say you [F]were broken
(just a [C]terrible pair of wings)
You were [Dm]broken
[Am](just a terrible pair of wings)
You were [F]broken [C]you
were a [G]broken bird
Yeah, you knew [Am]when you met [F]me
That I was [C]razor blade
In these [Am]halls of bad [F]memories
I'll do what it [C]takes just
To cut 'em all [G]loose
Cause that's where [Am]I found you
That's where [F]I found you
To [C]a rocket headed straight
for [G]the moon
Where I [Dm]will meet [G]you soon
I could tell you [F]were broken
(just a terrible pair [C]of wings)
Stranded in mo[Am]tion
[G](just a terrible pair of wings)
You were [F]broken [C]you
were a [G]broken bird
And you asked me for the [Dm]world[G]
All I gave you was [C]the falling sky
Yeah, you asked me for the [Dm]world[G]
All you needed as [C]place to fly
Yeah, you asked me for the [Dm]world[G]
And I couldn't give you the
[F]world[C][Am][G]
Cause you were [F]broken
(just a terrible [C]pair of wings)
Left your heart [Dm]open
(just a [Am]terrible pair of wings)
You were [F]broken [C]you were a bro[G]ken bird
A [F]broken bird you were broken
(just a terrible pair [C]of wings)
Stranded in motion
[Am](just a terrible pair [G]of wings)
You were [F]broken [C]you were
a [G]broken bird
