[Intro]
G C G C G D G D C
[Chorus 1]
G C G
Today, I met 500 Crows,
C G
Crowded in the trees in my front yard
G C
On the bare branches, they looked like leaves flying around
G C G
I was amazed. It sounded like a Crow Convention,
C G D
Like something big was going down,
G C
Some kind of argument, or maybe they were singing
Em D G
So I closed my eyes to better hear the Crow Chorus
Am Em D
To see if I could catch the beauty in their sound
Em D G
Oh they were singing out loud, such a clear and pure emotion
Am Em D G
I felt moved, not even knowing what their music was about
[Bridge]
C G D
G C G C G D
Love, I am part heartache, I am part Joyful Child
G C
I am a Grown-up that's still growing up, and I don't always have it figured out
G C G
To tell you the truth, I'm still searching
C G D
Trying to find that bigger light. I want to break free from all this looking
G D C
I want to learn how to enjoy my life…
Em D G
So I close my eyes to better hear your heart beating
Am Em D
'Cause in your arms, I feel relief from the despair
Em D G
I wonder how can I hold onto this feeling
Am Em
Or can I listen to my own heartbeat
D G
and hear the music there?
[Bridge]
C G C G D G D C
D Em D G C
I'm looking for a melody that will break my heart open ... wide ...
Em D
I want to sing with the angels now
G C N.C.
Don't want to wait until I die ....
[Chorus 2]
G C G
Today, I met 500 Crows
C G D
Crowded in the trees in my front yard
G C
On the bare branches, they looked like leaves flying around
Em D G
And so I closed my eyes to better hear the Crow Chorus
Am Em D
To see if I could catch the beauty in their sound
Em D G
Oh, they were singing out loud, such a clear and pure emotion
Am Em D G
I felt moved, not even knowing what their music was about.
