C             Bb/D                 Eb
I'm your only friend- I'm not your only friend
    F            Bb
But I'm a little glowing friend
    Cm             C#            G/D                  
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am




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

I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
C      G/B    C7              F               G
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
C                F             C          F
So the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
C  G/B     C7          F                  G  
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e

Am        F
My storys infinite
D7                F              G
Like the longines symphonette it doesn't rest

C      C/E         F                 
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
C/G         F/A  G/B
Who watches over you

Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab/Eb
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Eb     Cm     Ab        G       C

C                F           C               F
Theres a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
C     G/B      C7               F                G
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
C          F                 C               F
Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
C     G/B     C7            F                   G
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

Am          F
Bluebird of friendliness
D7            F          G
Like guardian angels its always near
