One sad bird on one sad fence

I cannot move, I've no defense

Staring at two helpless hands

And all I want is to hold you again

Will this crime ever go to trial

My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me

This love won't let me be

My heart's killing me

It's just you, it's just me

My heart's killing me

Solo:
D  Dm  F  Am x2
