"Messenger Bird's Song"
D G
the kitchen is cold
D G
but the coffee is warm
A
and the sun's coming up
G
the day has just begun
D G
and you're already bored.
D G
bored of cheering me up
D G
bored of calming me down
A G
bored of drying my eyes
D G
but there once was a time when you were the one.
D G
you were the blue of the sky
D G
you came after the storm
A
you were the switch on the wall
G
in the dark of the hall
D G
i'm still fumbling for
D G
cause i'm lost in the black
D G
i don't know where i am.
A
arms stretched out in front
G
i'm calling your name
D G
just as loud as i can
A B
i know there's words that we will never speak
A B
and the questions can't be answered easily
A
but i wanted to be easy so
Bmin E
nod your head if the plans have changed
A D
shake it, love, they stayed the same
Bmin E
smile at me and i will stay
A D
start to cry and i'll go away
B A D A
just please don't leave me guessing.
D G
so you made me come
D G
then you sent me away
D G
like a messenger bird
A
so i circled the earth
G
blown away in the wind
D G
but i always returned
D G
with some new little song
D G
some sad story to tell
A
of a brief love affair
G D G
with a girl i compared to you and she failed
D G
you said you don't want me to beg
D G
then you said get down on your knees
A
cause you knew that i would
G D G
if i do any good satisfying your needs.
A B A B
and i know all about those things we cannot speak
A B D A
and just so you know well they don't bother me
A
so you don't have to be worried, just
Bmin E
nod your head if the plans have changed
A D
shake it, love, if they stayed the same
Bmin E
smile at me and i will stay
A D
start to cry and i'll go away
B A D
just please don't keep me waiting
Bmin E
just nod your head if your mind's been changed
A D
shake it, love, if some hope remains
Bmin E
just say the word and of course i'll stay
A D
roll your eyes and i'll go away
B A D
just please don't leave me guessing.
B D A
just please don't keep me waiting
Not sure if this is exactly right but is very close if you can fix it great.
