-------
-Verse-
-------
C Em F
Oh, my talking bird
C G F
Though you know so few words
C Em F
They're on infinite repeat
C G F
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak
C Em F
And your kept in an open cage
C G F
So you're free to leave or stay
C Em F
And sometimes you get confused
C G F
Like there is a hint I'm trying to give you
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Dm
The longer you think
G C
The less you know what to do
Em F
C G F

-Verse 2-
---------
C Em F
Well it's hard to see your way out
C G F
When you live in a house in a house
C Em F
'Cause you don't realize
C G F
That the windows were open the whole time
C Em F
But oh, my talking bird
C G F
Though your feathers are tattered and furled
C Em F
I love you all your days
C G F
'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame
----------------
-Chorus / Outro-
----------------
Dm
It's all here for you
G Am G F
As long as you choose to stay
Dm
It's all here for you
G C
As long as you don't fly away
