Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 And she was just

 another lullaby

 with candlelight eyes

 singing you to sleep,

 drowsy with heat.

 And you were just

 a warning to avoid

 asleep upon the soil,

 holding onto night,

 fading with its' light.

 Fading with its' light.

Chorus

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone

 and the only thing she ever cared for

with wings tattered and torn,

 beating unevenly, beating unevenly.

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone,

 and the only thing she ever cared for.

And your heart was forgotten,

 alone on the floor.

 She picked it up, brushed it of dust.

 Brushed it of dust.

Verse 2

 And you were just

 a love-drunk vagabond

 with little reason to hold on.

 Pressed against the glass,

 watching people pass.

 Watching people pass...

Chorus

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone

 and the only thing she ever cared for

with wings tattered and torn,

 beating unevenly, beating unevenly.

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone,

 and the only thing she ever cared for.

And your heart was forgotten,

 alone on the floor.

 She picked it up, brushed it of dust.

 Brushed it of dust.

Verse 3

And you both intermingled

beautiful, and as simple...

And you both intermingled...

beautiful and simple as dust.

 As dust.

Chorus

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone

 and the only thing she ever cared for

with wings tattered and torn,

 beating unevenly, beating unevenly.

And your heart was a bird, scared still and alone,

 and the only thing she ever cared for.

And your heart was forgotten,

 alone on the floor.

 She picked it up, brushed it of dust.

 Brushed it of dust.

Verse 4

 And you were just

 another lullaby

 with candlelight eyes

 singing her to sleep,

 singing her to sleep.
