 (Cmaj7 / Cadd9 pattern)

  Cmaj7            Am
I talk too much, I always do
     Cmaj7          Am
'Til sense is lost along with truth
     Fmaj7          Cmaj7   | Cmaj7 |
Your silence is the harmony
   Fmaj7        Cmaj7       | Cmaj7 |
To every word I truly mean

Fmaj7      G
. Oh, your mind is like a rare bird
Cmaj7    Fmaj7
. Flying high above the cold world
Dm     G
. Slow dancing in the thermals
C               Cmaj7
. Singing songs no one's ever heard
Fmaj7 G
.  So why'd he want to cage you
Cmaj7  Fmaj7
. Clip wings and try to tame you
| Dm | G                        | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 |
  .    You were meant to be free

        Cmaj7              Am
Through state of fugue and breach of trust
  Cmaj7        Am
I see you new again my love
    Fmaj7           Em        | Em |
You hold so much so gracefully
     Fmaj7      G      | G |
From miracle to tragedy

Fmaj7      G
. Oh, your mind is like a rare bird
Cmaj7    Fmaj7
. Flying high above the cold world
Dm     G
. Slow dancing in the thermals

  .    You were meant to be free

G                     F
. Some shine brighter than the sun
                 Am
Too brilliant to gaze upon
               C/G       | C/G |
And rarer than rhodium
G                     F
Hear me, wherever you are tonight
              Am
You better be flying high
                      C/G         | C/G |
