Do you re (Bm)mem ber when we (G)were two beau ti ful birds?

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,

We weren’t to know that these (Bm)fea thers would grow
in to a beau ti ful cage.
