Like A Bird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[Dsus4] look so [G]lov[D]ely lyi[G]ng there
with dreamland's grin up on your face
Your [C]golden curls in disarray upon
[A]your starched white [D]pillow case
The [G]soft blue satin covers pulled up
tight around your lovely throat
It [C]almost makes me want to go des
[A]troy the message [D]on the note
The [G]note I left [D]upon your perfumed
[G]stationary [C]by the phone
I [A]hate to think about you waking
up at dawn to [D]find me gone
[Bm]It hurts[G] me so to get up in
the middle of the night and go
But [C]thinking back I do remember
[A]faintly that I [D]told you so

[Verse 2]
I [G]told you I was [C]like a bird a [G]free and
wild and [D]restless thing
[G]And even though I t[C]ake a mate and
[A]build a nest in [D]early spring
When [G]summer winds have [C]had their
day and [G]winter clouds are [C]flying high
In[G]stinctively I [D]spread my wings and [C]fly[E]
I [A]only know that I must go

[Verse 3]
[A]
and nothing here must hold me back
I [D]like the love you gave me and the
[Ebdim]tender way you sc[E]ratched my back
I [A]like your warm sweet kisses and
the way you cook your ham and eggs
I [D]like the way the suntan lotion
[B]softened up your [E]lovely legs
I [A]like the static [E]noise I heard
[A]when you would sit and [D]brush your hair
The [B]way you gave yourself to me
and never asked to [E]go nowhere
[C#m]But most o[A]f all I like the way you always
smiled and never frowned
The [D]way you took this chance for love
and [B]grasped me just for [E]what I am
I [A]told you I was [D]like [A]a bird[E][C#m]
[A][D][B][E][A][D][A]
[D][A]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[D]An [F#]d now m[B]y darling as I[F#] leave I
[B]fight the yearning [E]in my blood
To [C#]wake you up and love you just once
more before I [F#]go for good
But [B]somehow I am fighting back
my passion for I cannot stay
And [E]someday you'll look back and
know [Fdim]best it end[C#]ed up [F#]this way
I [B]told you I was

[Verse 5]
[E]like [B]a bird[F#]
[B]I[E][Fdim][F#][B][E][B]
[E]fly [B]I f[F#]ly[E]

[Outro 1]
[B]
