For The Birds Chords by The Juliana Hatfield Three

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ I really had to go downtown, _ _ go downtown [C] and hang around
[D] _ _ Was not prepared [Bb] for what I _ [D] found, a baby bird [F] was lying on [G] the [F] _ ground
[A] _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Lying there in [F] front of my [D] feet, _ dying there right next to those trees
I picked it up [Bb] and felt its heat, [D] _ I tried [G] to wake [F] her up but she won't [G] speak
[F] _ I'm _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ trying and I'm trying and I'm trying but [Am] I can't get away from the thought
_ _ [D] _ _
It's dying and it's dying and it's dying and it's [Am] something that I couldn't stop
_ _ [D] _
You're lying and you're lying and you say it's gonna [Am] make it pleasant, oh that's not
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[C] _ [D] Hanging on [F] the telephone [D] line, _ _ witnessing [F] a million crimes
_ [D] _
I've been [G] alone [Bb] all this [D] time, I'd call [G] someone but [F] I don't have the time
I [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ don't care for [F] boys or [D] girls, I'd rather hang [F] around with the _ [D] birds
Humans only [Bb] wreck the [D] world, they kill your whole [F] family for a string [G] of [F] pearls
_ [A] I'm [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ trying and I'm trying and I'm trying but I [Am] can't get away from the thought
_ _ [D] _ We're dying and we're dying and we're dying, [Am] our insides are starting to glow
_ [D] _ _ You're lying and you're lying and you say [Am] it's okay, cause maybe we're not
[C] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] Maybe we're not _ _
_ _ _ If _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ I had wings I'd [F] try to fly, [D] _ but they don't make [F] it harder to dive
[D] _ _ You can take [Bb] it up to the [D] sky, but no one ever [F]
stays that [G] [F] high
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying [Am] but I can't get away from the thought
_ _ [D] _
I'm dying and I'm dying, I already [Am] gave away all that I've got
_ [D] _
I'm lying and I'm lying, I say [Am] that I'm cool, cause really I'm not
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
