Tom: G
INTRO: G Em Am D
G Em
Rare bird, I know your loneliness
Am D
Born into a crowded nest and given away
G Em
Solitaire girl, your voice crying in the wilderness
Am D
Where suffering brings holiness, at least that's what they say
Am Em D
Rare bird, I wish you good company
G Em
Rare bird I know your sorrow
Am D
It rings a little hollow with every passing day
G Em
It's not fair girl, they want a piece of all of you
Am D
To form a line and follow you with every word that you say
Am Em D
Rare bird, I wish you sanctuary
Am
With your razor-wire and pitfalls
My way of climbing walls
Em
And finding where the china dolls are hidden
Am
Words can be misunderstood
My intentions were all good
D
There's nothing here not worth forgiving
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am D Am Em D
Am
I'm not the kind to hover near
Or stand in line to catch your ear
Em
But I just want to get things clear between us
Am
I know how to disappear
And leave by the backdoor dear
D
Make sure that no one here has seen us
G Em
Rare bird, I don't want you to go down
Am D
Here on the poor side of town, there's nothing left to say
G Em
Just this prayer girl, we'll go on from here unbound
Am D
Meet again on higher ground, some uncloudy day
Am Em D
Rare bird, just a little prayer from me
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
Am Em D
Rare bird
Am Em D
Rare bird
Am Em D
Rare bird
Am Em D
Rare bird
