Verse 1:


            Am       C F
And she was just
             Am      C F
another lullaby
                 Am       C F
with candlelight eyes
               Am         C F
singing you to sleep,
            Am        C F
drowsy with heat.


             Am       C F
And you were just
             Am       C F
a warning to avoid
                Am       C F
asleep upon the soil,
             Am           C F
holding onto night,
                 Am          C F
fading with its' light.
                 Am         C F
Fading with its' light.


Chorus:


Fadd9                      C                      Am7
      And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone
                   C
and the only thing she ever cared for
Fadd9                         C
      with wings tattered and torn,
                 Am7                   C  Gsus2
beating unevenly,   beating unevenly.
Fadd9                      C                      Am7
      And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone,
             C
and the only thing she ever cared for.
Fadd9                    C
      And your heart was forgotten, 
             Am7
alone on the floor.
              C                 Am         C F
She picked it up, brushed it of dust.
              Am          C F
Brushed it of dust.


Verse 2:


             Am        C F
And you were just
                 Am           C F
a love-drunk vagabond
                           Am         C F
with little reason to hold on.
                    Am           C F
Pressed against the glass,
                Am            C F
watching people pass.
                Am            C [F]
Watching people pass...


Chorus:

                   C
and the only thing she ever cared for
Fadd9                         C
      with wings tattered and torn,
                 Am7                   C  Gsus2
beating unevenly,   beating unevenly.

Brushed it of dust.


Verse 3:


Am          C  F
    And you both intermingled
Am        C F
    beautiful, and as simple...
Am          C  F
    And you both intermingled...
Am          C     F         Am          C F
    beautiful and simple as dust.
   Am        C F
As dust.

      with wings tattered and torn,

beating unevenly,   beating unevenly.
