[Intro]
Em G Am Em x2
[Verse 1]
Em G
We'll build a wondrous fort of mystery
Am
Where thunder gods will let us keep our dreams
Em
forever (no matter where we are)
Em G
Bury the keys to our hearts in the mountains
Am
Shy away from ticking clocks
Em
[Refrain]
Em G
Oh my little bird
Am
Only we know this world
Em
And all the creatures in our heads
Em
Conversations with the dead
G
Oh my little doe
Am
How could we ever grow old?
Em
When sleeping wolves are at our sides
Em
And floating amber fills the sky
[Chorus]
G
I'll send you letters with the birds
Am
And sing you songs you've never heard,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
Em G
I'll send you secrets in the wind
Am
May our benevolence never end,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
[Post-Chorus]
Em G
Can we howl at the moon forever?
Am Em
And bury our pictures in the woods
Em G
Could we bind our souls together?
Am Em
And hunt for pearls where no man should
[Verse 2]
Em G
We'll build a silken ship of feathers
Am
And sail it to the dying stars
Em
To sing farewell to them all
Em G
Give all our treasures to the monsters
Am
Cover them in shining jewels
Em
Make them feel ... beautiful too
[Chorus]
Em G
I'll send you letters with the birds
Am
And sing you songs you've never heard,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
Em G
I'll send you secrets in the wind
Am
May our benevolence never end,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
[Refrain]
Em G
Oh my little bird
Am
Only we know this world
Em
And all the creatures in our heads
Em
Conversations with the dead
G
Oh my little doe
Am
How could we ever grow old?
Em
When sleeping wolves are at our sides
Em
And floating amber fills the sky
[Chorus]
Em G
I'll send you letters with the birds
Am
And sing you songs you've never heard,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
Em G
I'll send you secrets in the wind
Am
May our benevolence never end,
Em
my Simone - No matter where you are
[Post-Chorus]
Em G
Can we howl at the moon forever?
Am Em
And bury our pictures in the woods
Em G
Could we bind our souls together?
Am Em
And hunt for pearls where no man should
