Peter Doherty - Birdcage
Bm A
Little bird in a cage
G F#
you’ve been turning heads around her
Bm A
You played your part
G F#
You signed your lot under their instruction
G F#
Looking through the bars, staring at the stars
Bm A G F#
Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity
and
Bm E F#
one by one and day by day
Bm E F#
see the good ones they fall away
Bm E F#
I see you standing at the side and you know you should be
Bm E F#
sorry
Bm G F#
You said, that we could never be together
Bm G F#
You’re too pretty and I'm too clever
Bm G F#
Good morning heartache and these foolish
Bm G F#
things
Bm A G F#
Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity
Bm A G F#
Love is the bread. Love is the wine. Love is the soul’s hot coals
Bm G F#
‘Why?’ the caged bird always sings
Bm G F#
through the ages, for the pleasure of the kings
Bm G F#
Lying down with a thorn in your crown they’re calling out your name
Bm G F#
You slip away
