C5      E5      F5
Oh, my talking bird
           C5    G5      F5
Though you know so few words
           C5   E5     F5
They're on infinite repeat
          C5                G5            F5
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak


         C5          E5   F5
And your kept in an open cage
          C5       G5        F5
So you're free to leave or stay
        C5         E5     F5
And sometimes you get confused
                C5        G5              F5
Like there is a hint I'm trying to give you


    D5
The longer you think
    G5                     C5
The less you know what to do


E5    F5

C5     G5      F5

          C5       E5           F5
Well it's hard to see your way out
         C5         G5          F5
When you live in a house in a house
           C5     E5  F5
'Cause you don't realize
         C5            G5              F5
That the windows were open the whole time


    C5      E5      F5
But oh, my talking bird
            C5            G5            F5
Though your feathers are tattered and furled
  C5        E5       F5
I love you all your days
         C5                  G5        F5
'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame


     D5
It's all here for you
   G5                     A5    G5    F5
As long as you choose to stay
     D5
It's all here for you
   G5                       C5
As long as you don't fly away
