Do you re (Bm)mem ber when we (G)were two beau ti ful birds?
We would (Bm)light up the sky when we’d fly.
You were (Bm)o range and red like the (A)sun when it sets, (D)I was (Em7)green as an ap ple’s eye.
(Bm)You said you loved all the songs that I’d sing like (Bm)noth ing that you’d (G)ev er heard,
and (Bm)I said I loved you with (A)all of my heart when (G)we were two beau ti ful birds.
Do you re (Bm)mem ber when we (G)were two (A)beau ti ful birds?
We’d
sing when the morn ing would come.
You were (Bm)sil ver and blue like the (A)moon when it’s (D)new, I was (Em7)gold as the sum mer sun.
One day you asked for a (A)dif fer ent song,
(Bm)one that I just (G)could n’t sing,
I got the (Bm)me lo dy sharp,
the (A)words all wrong,
those were the last days of spring.
To build a nest we pecked (Bm)fea thers from our chests,
like a (D)book tear ing out ev er y page.
We weren’t to know that these (Bm)fea thers would grow
in to a beau ti ful cage.
