Songbird

	  		
       D 
I went down to the water 
                    G  
And looked past the breakers 
              F 
And something in the sky told me 
G          F         D 
It'd never be the same 

D 
I look to my sister 
                     G 
Saying, "What have I done? 
            F 
I've made a mess of this 
G    F         D 
Song that I've sung" 

A#7 
Now everyone's trying to tell me 
How it's supposed to feel 
C 
They nod like I'm a child 
But they don't even hear me 

D                            G 
Oh I will wait for my little songbird 
                 F 
But it's not the right time 
   G            F     D 
So I'll fly out on my own 
                        G 
So if you see my little songbird 
                      F 
Can you tell her I'll wait here 
     G      F        D 
Down by the shoreline 

D 
The words of the Father 
                G 
They ring in my ear 
       F 
Go and find you a love 
    G        F           D 
And live out all of your years 

D 
And they say if you're looking 
                          G 
Well, you'll get what you come for 
    F            G         F        D    
And everyone has their own price to pay 

A#7 
Oh, I don't really know what to believe 
C 
Oh I'll call out to the world, "Hello, can you hear me?" 


D                            G 
Oh I will wait for my little songbid 
                 F 
But it's not the right time 
        G       F     D 
So I'll fly out on my own 
                        G 
So if you see my little songbird 
                      F 
Can you tell her I'll wait here 
G    F      D 
Down by the shoreline 

D                            G 
Oh I will wait for my little songbird 
                 F 
But it's not the right time 
        G       F     D 
So I'll fly out on my own 
                        G 
So if you see my little songbird 
                      F 
Can you tell her I'll wait here 
G    F      D 
Down by the shoreline
