[Chords] (E B G D A E) [Verse]
C      Em      F
Oh, my talking bird

           C    G      F
Though you know so few words

           C   Em     F
They're on infinite repeat

          C                G            F
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak

         C          Em   F
And your kept in an open cage

          C       G        F
So you're free to leave or stay

        C         Em     F
And sometimes you get confused

                C        G              F
Like there is a hint I'm trying to give you
[Chorus]
    Dm
The longer you think

    G                     C
The less you know what to do
Em F C G F [Verse 2]
          C       Em           F
Well it's hard to see your way out

         C         G          F
When you live in a house in a house

           C     Em  F
'Cause you don't realize

         C            G              F
That the windows were open the whole time

    C      Em      F
But oh, my talking bird

            C            G            F
Though your feathers are tattered and furled

  C        Em       F
I love you all your days

         C                  G        F
'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame
[Chorus/Outro]
     Dm
It's all here for you

   G                     Am    G    F
As long as you choose to stay

     Dm
It's all here for you

   G                       C
As long as you don't fly away
