The Bird Song

[Verse 1]
Bmaj7
She  was a bird
I was an arrow
F#
Both of us sure
We were sword and a sparrow
Bmaj7
Still, when we flew
             F# F#maj7
We never knew
Bmaj7
There in the air
I felt her feathers
F#
First all at once
Then all together
Bmaj7
When I went through
                  F# F#maj7
That's when I knew

[Chorus]
      Bmaj7
I'm a killer, and a killer is a bad,
bad thing to be
        F#
She's a giver,
and a giver's even worse to folks like me
         Bmaj7
'Cause I never really wanna be the one to hurt somebody
           F#
But it just  keeps happening
                             Bmaj7 F#
Yeah, it just keeps happening

[Verse 2]
Bmaj7
I    was a bird
He was an arrow
F#
I was allured by the straight and the narrow
Bmaj7
What could I do?
                F# F#maj7
His aim was true
Bmaj7
Straight to the heart
I let it happen
F#
I couldn't hardly have ever imagined
     Bmaj7
That when he went through me
He'd hate what he's doin'
    F#                      F#maj7
And make me feel stupid for choosin' him too

[Chorus]
             Bmaj7
'Cause I'm a giver, and a giver is a bad,
bad thing to be
       F#
He's a killer,
and a killer's even worse for folks like me
         Bmaj7
'Cause I never really wanna feel the hurt from anybody
           F#
But it just  keeps happening
                             Bmaj7
Yeah, it just keeps happening

[Post-Chorus]
F#                             Bmaj7 F#
  Yeah, it just keeps happening

[Bridge]
Bmaj7/G#
Fallin', never to fly again
C#
Darlin',
                           F#maj7
together when everything's fading
The shade of the trees and the dark
B Bmaj7/G#
  I'm     in love with the idea
   C#
Of dying with you in my arms
        F#maj7
But not like  this
We can't really help who we are
B
 We can't really help who we are

[Outro]
G#m
   We can't really help who we are
C#                                F#
  Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
B
 We can't really help who we are
G#m
   We can't really help who we are
C#                                F#
  Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
B
 We can't really help who we are
G#m
   We can't really help who we are
C#                                F#
  Damned to the end from the start
We can't really help who we are
B                               F#maj7
 We can't really help who we are
