Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]How it must [G]feel to be a bird[C]
[Em]Roamin' lone[G]ly over sea [C]air
[Em]How it must [G]feel to be a bird[C]
[Em]London, Pari[G]s, underneat[C]h

[Interlude 1]
And I'll wait on my own
[Em](Ooh,[G][C]
[Em]hmm, [G]ooh)[C]

[Chorus 1]
[G]And [C]I couldn't tell you en[Em]ough
that I'm [D]sorry
[G]And [C]no, you couldn't tell me e[Em]nough
that you love [D]me
But she's bringin' the [G]moon
and stars to [C]me
Damn permanent [Em]reverie[D]
And even though [G]this life, this love is [C]brief
I've got some people who [Em]carry [D]me

[Verse 2]
Wasn't it [Em]love
soon as we knew each other [G]properly?
Livin' 'bout [C]half right
'til a certain person got to me
Nothin' is [Em]secret, everythin's sacred,
how it [G]ought to be
Under the [C]moonlight on a clear night
On rooftops is where I want to be
Some[Em]times I'm like a child,
that's somethin' I [G]can't release
Dreams of her [C]comin' home, sweet home
And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet
Said you re[Em]minded me of the summertime,
and I [G]still mean that
In a [C]full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at

[Verse 3]
So wouldn't you [Em]let me know
if you were thinkin' [G]less of me?
That's what she [C]asked me
What was promised, what we both agreed
But truthfully, if you [Em]ever go
You'll drop me straight to [G]Hell, the 7th circle
And I [C]was talkin' with you earlier
We were open and vulnerable,
it was [Em]wonderful
[G]I, used to dream that you would [C]talk to me
[Em]I us[G]ed to dream
that you would [C]talk to me

[Chorus 2]
[G]And [C]I couldn't tell you en[Em]ough
that I'm [D]sorry
[G]And [C]no, you couldn't tell me e[Em]nough
that you love [D]me
But she's bringin' the [G]moon
and stars to [C]me
Damn permanent [Em]reverie[D]
And even though [G]this life, this love is [C]brief
I've got some people who [Em]carry [D]me

[Bridge 1]
You know that [G]feelin'
when you think your heart
is [C]gonna come right out through your [Em]shirt?
[D]Get it a cou[G]ple times a year
But I've been [C]gettin' it
more often with [Em]her[D]
Now when I'm [G]face to face with death,
I'll grab his [C]throat
And ask him, "How does it [Em]hurt?"[D]
Up in those [G]golden moments,
growin' old too [C]quickly
Was he thinkin' of [Em]her?[D]

[Chorus 3]
But she's bringin' the [G]moon
and stars to [C]me
Damn permanent [Em]reverie[D]
And even though [G]this life, this love is [C]brief
I've got some people who [Em]carry [D]me
