_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb]
How it must _ _ _ feel to be a bird _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] roaming _ _ lonely _ over sea, yeah. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
How it must [Bb] _ _ feel to be [Eb] a bird, _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ London, [Bbm] _ Paris, [Bb] _ _ _ underneath.
_ And I wait on my own.
[Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ couldn't tell you [Gm] enough _ that I'm sorry.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And oh, _
[Eb] _ _ you [Bb] couldn't tell me enough that you love me.
_ But she's bringing the moon and stars to [Eb] me, damn [Bb] permanent reverie.
_ _ _ _ _ And even though this life, this love, this [Eb] grief, I've got some people who [Bb] carry me. _ _ _
_ _ _ I wasn't in love soon as we knew each other properly.
_ Living [Eb] about half right till a [Bb] certain person got to me.
[Gm] _ Nothing is secret, everything's [Bb] sacred, how it ought to be.
Under the moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I want to be.
[Gm] Sometimes I'm like a [Bb] child, that's something I can't release.
Dreams [Eb] of a coming home, sweet home, and I'm [Bb] telling you home's so sweet.
[Eb] Said [Gm] you reminded me of the summertime [Bb] and I still mean that.
_ [Eb] In a full room, I'm the only one she's smiling at.
[Gm] So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?
That's [Eb] what she asked me, what was promised, what we both agreed.
But [Gm] truthfully, if you ever go, you drop me [Bb] straight to hell, the seventh circle.
And I [Eb] was talking with you earlier, we were [Bb] open and vulnerable.
It was wonderful.
_ I _ _ used to dream that you would talk to me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ I used to dream that you [Eb] would talk to me.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] And I _ [Ab] couldn't tell [Gm] you enough that [Dm] I'm sorry. _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ And _ no, _
[Eb] _ _ you [Gm] couldn't tell me enough that you love me.
[Dm] _ _
[Bb] But she's bringing the moon and stars to [Eb] me.
I'm permanent [Bb] reverie.
_ _ _ _ _ Even though this life, this love [Eb] is brief, I've [Gm] got some people who carry [Bb] me.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ You [Dm] know that feeling when you think your heart [Ab] is gonna [F] come right out through your shirt.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ Get it a couple times a year, but I've [Eb] been getting [Gm] it more often with her. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Now when I'm face to face with death, I'll [Eb] grab his throat and ask him, how [Gm] does it hurt? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ Up in those golden moments, growing old too quickly, was he thinking of her? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] But she's [Bb] bringing the moon and stars to [Eb] me.
[Gm] I'm permanent [Bb] reverie. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] And even though this life, this love [Eb] is brief, I've got some [Gm] people who carry me. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
