Em7 G Cadd9 Riff How it must feel to be a bird Em7 G Cadd9 Roaming lonely over sea air Em7 G Cadd9 Riff How it must feel to be a bird Em7 G Cadd9 London, Paris underneath, I'll wait on my own here
[Interlude] (Played twice in YouTube versions)
Em7 G Cadd9 Riff Oooooooooooooh Em7 G Cadd9 Oooooooooooooh
[Chorus 1]
G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# She's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
[Verse 2]
Em7 G Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly? Cadd9 Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me Em7 G Nothing is secret, everything's sacred, how it ought to be Cadd9 Under the moonlight on a clear night on rooftops is where I want to be Em7 G Sometimes I'm like a child, it's something I can't release Cadd9 Dreams of her coming home, sweet home, I'm telling you home's so sweet Em7 G Said you reminded me of the summer times, and I still mean that Cadd9 In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
[Verse 3]
Em7 G So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me? Cadd9 That's what she asked me, what was promised, what we both agreed Em7 G But truthfully, if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell, the seventh circle Cadd9 And I was talking with you earlier, we were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful Em7 G Cadd9 Riff I, I used to dream that you would talk to me Em7 G Cadd9 I used to dream that you would talk to me
[Chorus 2]
G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# But she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
[Verse 4]
G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt? G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# Now when I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat and ask him, "how does it hurt?" G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly, was he thinking of her?
[Chorus 3]
G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# But she's bringing the moon and stars to me, damn permanent reverie G/B Cadd9 Em7no5 Em9/F# And even though this life, this love is brief, I've got some people who carry me
