[Verse]
F
It's nesting season which means
A
A lesser goldfinch comes to
Dm
My bedroom window
Db
Every morning between 7 and 9
F
And then she fights with the
A
Bird inside my window
Dm
Not knowing that she's fighting herself
Db
And her territory is fine
 
[Chorus]
Bb
And when I watch her
A
I wonder if she'll ever know
Dm C G
That all her worries are nothing
A
But a trick of the light
Bb
And she could save
A
Most of her energy
Dm C
If she simply just
G A
Chose not to fight
 
[Verse]
F
And then I think of myself
A
And all my worries
Dm
My stressors and my hurries
Db
Maybe the biggest ones are self imposed
F A
Or maybe my window goldfinch
Dm N.C.
Knows something that I don't...
N.C.
So just to be safe
N.C.
I suppose I'll-
 
[Chorus]
F
Fight every reflection I see!
A
'Cause it could just be me
Dm
Or it could be another me
Eb Db
That's stuck inside and trying to get free
F
Don't you know I'm ready to brawl?
A
Just in case there's a small chance
Dm Eb
That one of them is a dopplegänger
Db
That wants to steal
 
[Bridge]
Bb
All of my seeds and my sticks
A
They're my needs, I can't fix
Dm C
My nest if this handsome asshole
G A
Keeps on making faces at me
Bb
Not a bird, I'm a man
A
But I will, and I can
Dm C
Punch you right in the throat
G A
If you get too close, just wait and see
 
[Verse]
F
And so I'm thankful my
A
Favorite lesser goldfinch
Dm
Keeps tapping at my window because
Db
I think it is surely a sign
F
That if I keep up with my
A
Self sabotaging it's
Dm
Actually productive
Db F
And it means that everything will be fine.
