Tom: C
(Acapella)
Well I didn't tell anyone but
A bird flew by, and saw what I'd done
It set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become
F
He sang so loud
C
He sang so clear
E Am
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
F C
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
E Am
I promised I wouldn't do it again...
F
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
C
And now I couldn't get him out
E
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Am
And stood on it to make him stop
F
I picked up the bird and above the dim I said
C
"That's the last song you'll ever sing"
F
Held him down, broke his neck
C E Am
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
F C E Am
But in my dreams began to creep
F C E
That old familiar 'tweet tweet tweet'
E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
E
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
Am
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
E
But I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
Am F C
The song was coming from my mouth
E Am
From my mouth (15x)
