Em C D G

[Verse 1]
        Em               C        D              G
Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds we would
 Em            C         D
light up the sky as we fly,
         Em           C          D             G
You were orange in red like the sun when it sets,
       Am                   D
I was green as an apple's eye

 Em             C             D           G
You said you loved all the songs that I sing 
     Em              C     D
like nothing you’d ever heard
         Em    C           D         G
And said I loved you with all of my heart, When,
C            D          G
We were two beautiful birds

[Verse 2]
  Em              C        D          G
remember when we were two beautiful birds?
          Em            C            D
we would sing when the morning will come,
         Em            C          D               G
You are silver and blue like the moon when it’s new
       Am                D
I was gold as a summer sun,

Em                C           D          G
But one day you asked for a different song,
 Em              C           D
One that I just couldn’t sing,
           Em           C       D             G
I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong,
Am                                D
  Those were the last days of spring,

Am                           Em                D
  To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests,
        G                       D                
Like a book tearing out every page,
Am                             Em           D
We weren't to know that these feathers will grow
G                    D
Into a beautiful cage
