Capo 2nd Fret!!!
Intro
G C Em D C x2
C G
It ain't hard to get lost,
D Am
When you forget, where you come from.
C G
Turn that dial to the right and push that pedal down.
D
Don't say goodbye,
C
Just for the drive,
G D
Along for the ride.
G D
It would be real nice just to fly away,
Em
And escape everything.
C
But little bird,
G
Looks like you've got a broken wing.
D Em
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak.
C
But it sure won't make me believe.
G C Em D C
C G
It's hell you say and it gets worse you know.
D Am
How many more days am I gonna wake up when there's no place I wanna go?
C G
That sunshine's really gonna kill us all why is everyday so cold?
D C
Why is everything, so fucking cold,
G D
And never melts away.
G D
It would be real nice just to fly away,
Em
And escape everything.
C
But little bird,
G
Looks like you've got a broken wing.
D Em
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak.
C
But it sure won't make me believe.
Am C G
That's the top of your lungs, and the bottom of your heart.
Am C G
Is that the top of your lungs, Is that the bottom of your heart.
Am Bm C D G D
Is that as deep as your heart goes?
G x4
G D
I understand the things that keep you up,
Em
And I know that you still feel.
C
And I know that your heart is hemorrhaging,
G
And needs some time to heal.
D
Now the traffic lights there on your street,
Em
Flash yellow all the time,
C Bm
And the mirror in your bathroom it looks cracked in the wrong light
C
But walk out through your threshold,
G D C
Through your lungs and move on down the stairs.
Em D C G
And let the things you love come back to you in time
Am D
we'll all get there
G D
It would be real nice just to fly away,
Em
And escape everything.
C
But little bird,
G
Looks like you've got a broken wing.
D Em
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak.
C D G
But it sure won't make me believe.
