You looked just like birds overhead.

[Chorus]
Bm A G D
I was weak and tired,
G D
The night before was a blur,
G D
The taxi drove too fast,
G D Asus4
The skyline rushing past our window,
G D
But oh! How we danced!
G D
To the country band,
G D
We drank and we swayed,
G D
You told everyone it’s your birthday,
G D
Then we walked home to Brooklyn,
G D
And both of us were freezing,
G Bm7 Asus4
And I asked what you were doing with your life.
[Verse 3]

And birds sang to us as we walked,

And I know you’ll be alright,
Gadd9 Bm7
You say I can’t let things lie,
Gadd9 Bm7 Asus4
I know you’re right you’re right.
