[Em] _ [C] Ever since you [G] moved out
[E] I've been living [C] in [G] the park _ _
[E] _ [C] I'd rather talk [G] to the wind _
[E] _ [C] Than an empty [G] apartment _ _
[Em] _ [C] And I wish I [G] could forget _
[E] How a billion [C] birds [G] flew in _ _
[E] _ [C] My hollow [G] dying heart
The [Em] first time [C] I touched [G] your heart _ _
[Em] Once there [G] were a billion [A] passenger [C] pigeons
So many [G] flew by
[G] They darkened the sky
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ [C] But they were [G] clubbed and shot
_ [Em] _ [C] Netted, gassed, [G] and burned
_ _ [E] _ [C] Until there was [G] nothing left
[Em] But [C] piles of [G] empty net
_ _ [Em] I can't [G] believe
[A] How [C] easily
A billion birds can [G] disappear
_ The _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ [C] park [G] is empty now _
[Em] _ [C] It's so [G] cold _ _ _
[E] _ [C] And all the [G] paddle boats
[Em] Are covered [C] up [G] with snow _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] Once [G] again it's dark
[Em] The electric [C] lights [G] snap on
_ _ [Em] _ [C] But I'm still [G] sitting here
_ [Em] Drinking [C] _
[G] frozen beer
_ _ [Em] _ [C] And throwing [G] potato chips
_ [Em] Into [C] the white [G] snow
_ _ _ [Em] _ [C] Just in case [G] a bird decides
[Em] To fly through [C] here [G] tonight
I _ _ [Em] _ [G] can't believe _
[A] How [C] easily
A billion birds can [G] disappear
_ [F#] _ [Em] Oh, I [G] can't believe
[A] How [C] easily
A billion birds can [G] disappear
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
