[Verse 1]
C           Fmaj7    C           G
I couldn't utter my love when it counted

G       C                  Fmaj7          C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now

C              Fmaj7            C         G
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted

G           C              Fmaj7          C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7     G
Bites on above

C               Fmaj7
But never would form

       C          Fmaj7 C              G
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn

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

       C              Fmaj7     G        C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[Verse 2]
C       Fmaj7       C             G
Had no idea on what ground I was founded

G           C           Fmaj7           C
All of that goodness is going with you now

C           Fmaj7      C       G
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted

G         C           Fmaj7          C
All of my goodness is going with you now
[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7     G     C           F
Driving along, fall on your thorn

C             Fmaj7        C            G
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn

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

       C               Fmaj7     G       C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[Verse 3]
C             Fmaj7     C          G
I fled to the city with so much discounted

G           C             Fmaj7       C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

C           Fmaj7           C          G
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted

G           C             Fmaj7       C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[Chorus 3]
      Fmaj7            G
I was hatched by your warmth

C         Fmaj7
Thus transformed

        C            Fmaj7      C         G
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn

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

       C              Fmaj7     G        C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
