Shawn Colvin – The Bird (Guitar)

A
I might go to the mountains of Spain

A
And I'll see all the pretty snow,

A        E                 D
And I'll dream the dream I dream

                  A    F#m
No matter where I go

              A
We were still young like when we met,

A
And I hadn't fucked it all up yet,

        E                    D
And you wanted me to be with you

       A
Like before

       D
What I like about time is it don't ask why

D
What I like about love is it makes me cry

       Bm
What I like about the bird is she don't need

            E       Bm
Nothing but sky...

      A
And I know you tried to tell me then

A
No one could bear the shit I put on them

          E                          D
I bet you wonder why you even let me in

            A
Well, so do I

       A
In my dream I never make you pay

A
For all the things you did and did not say

      E                   D
I was ready to be good to you

             A     F#m
And make you stay

        A
And you took me to the carnival town,

A
And we rode the rides up and down,

       E                          D
And we watched the birds watch us smile,

                   A
And then they flew away

       D
What I like about time is it don't ask why

D
What I like about love is it makes me cry

       Bm
What I like about the bird is she don't need

            E       Bm
Nothing but sky...

      A
And I know you think my life's a crime

A
And you talk about it to your wife sometimes

                 E
Y'all shake your heads and sigh

     D                  A
Oh believe me, I shake mine.
