G           Em           C    FP
how it must feel to be a bird

G       Em          C    FP
roaming lonely oversea

G           Em           C    FP
how it must feel to be a bird

G       Em         C
London, Paris underneath

G D/F#                              Em   C
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry

G  D/F#                                 Em      C
oh you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me

                   G                 D/F#               Em     C
she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie

                 G                  D/F#                            Em      C
even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me

            G                               Em
it was near love soon as we knew each other properly

             C
living about half right till the certain person got to me

           G                                 Em
nothing is secret everything's sacred how it oughta be

          C
under the moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I wanna be

    G                                      Em
sometimes I'm like a child its something I cant release

            C
dreams of a coming home, sweet home I'm telling you home's so sweet

         G                               Em
said you reminded me of the summertime assuming that

     C
in a full moon I'm the only one she's smiling at

                 G                                Em
now wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me

                C
that's what she asked me, what was promised what we both agreed

                  G                                 Em
truthfully if you ever go you'd drop me straight to hell the 7th circles

          C
and I was talking with you earlier we were open and vulnerable

                Em
it was wonderful   I

                               C          FP     Em
I used to dream that you would talk to me

                               C
I used to dream that you would talk to me

              G                                    D/F#                              Em     C
you know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt

          G                                 D/F#                       Em     C
it did it couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her

         G                                    D/F#                           Em         C
when I'm face to face with death ill grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt

         G                              D/F#                       Em      C
in those golden moments growing old too quickly was he thinking of her

                      G                  D/F#               Em      C
and she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie

                 G                  D/F#                            Em         C
