	        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 

    Dm 
The longer you think 
    G                     C 
The less you know what to do 

Em    F 

C     G      F 

          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 

     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
