[Verse 1]
  D
I kept the bottle we drank from together
        D
I don't know, is that insane?
          G                 D
It's just   every once in a while you've
  A
Got to remind yourself
          A
That it's you against the rain
            A                 D
And I'm not sure yet who will win
             D
If there's a heaven and if there's a hell
    D
I'm sure that we'll wind up there together
                       G
And dine there as well
                   D
In the eyes of the other
     A
Breaking bread over anecdotes
                       A
Of what, I don't know
                       D
But something funny, I'm sure


[Chorus]
    Bm                         A
And    bird, if I held you too tight
G                              D             D
Bird, if you were warm through   the night
A
I will let go
                               G
As wide as the storm that does brew
         A           G
I will let go of you
G          A         D    D
I will let go of you


[Verse 2]
D
Some days are harder than other days
               D
As I wait like strings to be plucked
                 G                   D
To the tune of a song you sang to me one day
A     A7    D
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi


[Chorus]
    Bm               F#m             A          A
And    bird, if your wings have gone clipped
   G                      D        D
As I pressed myself to your lips
A
I'll release you
A7                        G
With what is left of your wings
       A                  G
I will leave you to sing
          A               D  D
I will leave you to sing

    Bm                      A     A
And    bird, if love went awry
G                      Em             D     D
Each time I looked too deep in your eyes
  A            A7              G
I'll look away so that you can fly away
          A                G
I'll even lead you astray
       A            G
I will lead you astray
       A            G
I will lead you astray


[Outro]
       A             G
I will lead you (astray)
A             G
(Lead you astray)
A             G
(Lead you astray)
A             G
(Lead you astray)
A             G
(Lead you astray)
