INTRO: G Em Am D
G                      Em
Rare bird, I know your loneliness

            Am                      D
Born into a crowded nest and given away

    G                                    Em
Solitaire girl, your voice crying in the wilderness

                       Am                                  D
Where suffering brings holiness, at least that's what they say

Am                         Em      D
Rare bird, I wish you good company

G                     Em
Rare bird I know your sorrow

                  Am                       D
It rings a little hollow with every passing day

         G                               Em
It's not fair girl, they want a piece of all of you

                   Am                                 D
To form a line and follow you with every word that you say

Am                    Em        D
Rare bird, I wish you sanctuary

          Am   
With your razor-wire and pitfalls
My way of climbing walls
                                      Em 
And finding where the china dolls are hidden

Am
Words can be misunderstood
My intentions were all good
                                  D
There's nothing here not worth forgiving
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am D Am Em D
    Am
I'm not the kind to hover near
Or stand in line to catch your ear
                                  Em
But I just want to get things clear between us

  Am
I know how to disappear
And leave by the backdoor dear
                          D
Make sure that no one here has seen us

G                           Em
Rare bird, I don't want you to go down

            Am                                         D
Here on the poor side of town, there's nothing left to say

          G                             Em
Just this prayer girl, we'll go on from here unbound

              Am                       D
Meet again on higher ground, some uncloudy day

Am                       Em             D
Rare bird, just a little prayer from me
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)

Rare bird

Am          Em  D  
Rare bird

Am          Em  D  
Rare bird

Am          Em  D  
Rare bird
