                 "Messenger Bird's Song"

D             G
the kitchen is cold
D             G
but the coffee is warm
A             
and the sun's coming up 
           G
the day has just begun
D             G
and you're already bored.
D             G
bored of cheering me up
D           G
bored of calming me down
A            G
bored of drying my eyes
D             G
but there once was a time when you were the one.
D             G
you were the blue of the sky
D             G
you came after the storm
A                            
you were the switch on the wall
            G
in the dark of the hall
D             G
i'm still fumbling for
D            G
cause i'm lost in the black
D            G
i don't know where i am.
A            
arms stretched out in front
G
i'm calling your name
D            G
just as loud as i can
A                                         B
i know there's words that we will never speak
A                                       B
and the questions can't be answered easily
A
but i wanted to be easy so
Bm9             E
nod your head if the plans have changed
A                D
shake it, love, they stayed the same
Bm9             E
smile at me and i will stay
A                D
start to cry and i'll go away
B             A               D      A
just please don't leave me guessing.
D           G
so you made me come
D           G
then you sent me away
D           G
like a messenger bird
A
so i circled the earth
G
blown away in the wind
D           G
but i always returned
D           G
with some new little song
D           G
some sad story to tell
A
of a brief love affair
G                         D                 G                 
with a girl i compared to you and she failed
D               G
you said you don't want me to beg
D                G
then you said get down on your knees
A
cause you knew that i would
G                         D             G
if i do any good satisfying your needs.
A            B               A                  B
and i know all about those things we cannot speak
A                    B           D         A
and just so you know well they don't bother me
A
so you don't have to be worried, just 
Bm9             E
nod your head if the plans have changed
A                D
shake it, love, if they stayed the same
Bm9             E
smile at me and i will stay
A               D
start to cry and i'll go away
B               A                D
just please don't keep me waiting
Bm9            E
just nod your head if your mind's been changed
A               D
shake it, love, if some hope remains
Bm9            E
just say the word and of course i'll stay
A               D
roll your eyes and i'll go away
B            A         D
just please don't leave me guessing.
B            D          A
just please don't keep me waiting
