[Intro] C Dm F C C Dm G C [Verse 1]
C                                Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted

                           F              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now

                                          Dm
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted

                           F              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
[Chorus 1]
Am          G
Words hung above

    C           F
But never would form

Am                G     C              Am
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn

Am          G          C   Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn

Am                    G                   C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Dm Am G C [Verse 2]
C                                Dm
Had no idea on what ground I was founded

                        F              C
All of that goodness is going with you now

C                                Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted

                      F              C
All of my goodness is going with you now
[Chorus 2]
Am       G       C              F
Dragging along, follow in your form

Am            G            C            Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn

Am          G          C     Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn

       Am             G                  C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[Instrumental Interlude] C Dm F C C Dm G C [Verse 3]
  C                                Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted

                          F           C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

C                                     Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted

                          F           C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[Chorus 3]
      Am              G
I was housed by your warmth

C    F
Thus transformed

        Am           G          C         Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn

Am          G          C     Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn

       Am             G                  C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
