Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard tuning, Capo 2, 3 and 5

CAPO 3

A             D                    C
I'm your only friend- I'm not your only friend
    E            G
But I'm a little glowing friend
    C              Bb            E                  
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am

A                  D                 
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
A           D
Who watches over you
A      E      F#m       E       C
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               F                 
Not to put too fine a point on it
C                F
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
C      Am     F         E       A
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

A        D              A        D
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
A      E      A7              D               E
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
A                D             A          D
So the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
A  E       A7          D                  E  
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e

F#m       F#m+5
My storys infinite
F#m6              F#m+5          E
Like the longines symphonette it doesn't rest

A                  D                 
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
A           D
Who watches over you
A      E      F#m       E       C
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               F                 
Not to put too fine a point on it
C                F
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
C      Am     F         E       A
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

G                         [CAPO CHANGE 3]          
I'm your only friend- I'm not your only friend
                 E          
But I'm a little glowing friend
    A              G             E
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am

A                D           A               D
Theres a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
A     E        A7               D                E
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
A          D                 A               D
Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
A     E       A7            D                   E
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

F#m         F#m+
Bluebird of friendliness
F#m6          F#m+       E
Like guardian angels its always near

A                  D                 
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
A           D
Who watches over you
A      E      F#m       E       C
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               F                 
Not to put too fine a point on it
C                F
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
C      Am     F         E       A
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
D                  A                   D
While youre at it, keep the nightlight on inside 
    A         E       F#m
the birdhouse in your soul
               F
