Mockingbird
Derek Webb - Mockingbird
Transcribed by John Huss
Capo V
C/G Csus C/G
There are days I don't believe the words I say
F C/G
Like a life that I'm not living
F C/G G G6 G7
A song that I'm not singing but to you
C/G Csus C/G
There are times that I believe I'm satisfied
F C/G
Like an intimate connection
F C/G G G6 G7
Despite this bad reception with you
Am D
Cause I can't afford to pay
Am D
For most of what I say
Am C/B C
So it's a lucky thing
F E
That the truth's public domain
Am E
And I am like a mockingbird
F C/G
I've got no new song to sing
Am E
And I am like an amplifier
F G
I just tell you what I've heard
Csus C/G
Oh, I'm like a mockingbird
Csus C/G Csus C/G
And yes, it's true that I need this more than you
F C/G
Like one whose name is many
F C/G G G6 G7
Have mercy, please don't send me away
Am D
And I’ll do all I can
Am D
To be a better man
Am C/B C
Oh I’ll clean up this act
F E
And be worse than we started
