Artist: Owl City Album: Mobile Orchestra Song: Bird With A Broken Wing Be careful: the intro and verses contain a lot of syncopation. [Intro] (x2) F2 /// | G2 /// | Dm7 /// | C /// [Verse 1]
        F2                  G2
So I walk alone down the darkest roads

             Dm7                   C
Cause I've always known how the story goes

            F2                     G2
When the curtain falls, I'll be wearing thin

         Dm7                       C
Clawing at the walls as they're closing in
[Verse 2]
           F2                G2   
In this twisted plot I was destined for

        Dm7              C
I'm an astronaut on the ocean floor

       F2                     G2 
So misunderstood 'till the bloody end

         Dm7                 C       Am   F
How I wish I could do it all again
[Chorus]
C                    G
 It feels like I'm a lone survivor

Am               G7
  Forgotten in a dark and deadly world

C             G
 And on my own, I walk alone

Am                    F                     
  To see the sun again I'd give anything

C                   G
 But life demands a final chapter

Am                G7
  A story that we all must leave behind

C              G
 It's do or die, and this is mine

Am                    F
  The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
[Channel] C /// | G /// | Am /// | F /// | F [Verse 3]
       F2                  G2  
It's another night of the living dead

        Dm7              C
Like a viper bite in a spiderweb

           F2                G2
It's so deathly dark in the alleyway

         Dm7                    C
And a bleeding heart makes you easy prey
[Verse 4]
          F2                   G2
I would run and hide for the afternoon

           Dm7              C
With the butterfly in the panic room

             F2                       G2
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time

        Dm7                    C          Am  F
For a different twist in the story line
[Chorus]
C                    G
 It feels like I'm a lone survivor

Am               G7
  Forgotten in a dark and deadly world

C             G
 And on my own, I walk alone

Am                    F                     
  To see the sun again I'd give anything

C                   G
 But life demands a final chapter

Am                G7
  A story that we all must leave behind

C              G
 It's do or die, and this is mine

Am                    F
  The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

  The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
[Verse 5]
             F2                  G2
Tell the world I know that my mind is made

          Dm7                C     
It's a hard show, but I'm not afraid

             F2                      G2
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time

        Dm7                    C        
For a different twist in the story line
