verse 1
F Gm Csus2 F F Gm
Songbirds in the morning, had my head lost in the tall trees
Bb F
I knew well, well I would say
C Bb
Dreaming my dry weeds
F Gm Csus2 F
Stray light finds its way to all of us
F Gm Csus2
Say something green, it comes back
Bb F C Bb
Sign light on my lips, let 'em kiss, dark leaves
Bb Bb/A Gmadd4
Let the hands of the wrong prophets heal me all they should
Bb Bb/A Gmadd4
Let the wine of the poison Jesus says tastes good
C Bb F F
And all those trees lay down if you were a bird and fell into my arms
[Refrão]
Dm Bb
If I wrote your song in stone
Dm Bb
If I wore your wings back home
Dm C Bb F
Where the dreams in the backwater drown us far from home

Give this to the gray, it comes back gold

Birds of the morning, they may know
Bb F C Bb
Know more than us, giving their hymns for life
Bb Bb/A Gmadd4
Let the waves on the wrong water say what they will say
Bb Bb/A Gmadd4
While the wind and the broken branches blow me away
C Bb F F
All tall tree lay down if you were the bird who fell into my arms
[Refrão]
Dm Bb
I could write your song in stone
Dm Bb
I could wear your wings back home
Dm C Bb F
Where the dreams in the backwater drown us far from home
