[Intro]

E C#m A E


[Verse 1]

C#m
Saw things that the rat saw
        A                    E
And my eyes couldn't take them in
                               C#m
Just want to fall here silently
                              A
Into the arms of people I love
Under waiting stars as the ships come rolling in


[Chorus]

E                                 B
But look at the way the faces turn
C#m
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
A
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird
E                                  B
I'll look at the way the faces turn
C#m
Eyes burn why (eyes burn why)
A
If you be the sky then I'll be the bird

[Verse 2]

C#m
So the power lines were leaning
And all was lost
A
Make a vow with the city lights
With your fingers crossed
E
You said I'd be a place and time
Said I'd be a man
C#m
Making eyes with a sea of lies
So you understand
A
That you're raping on my dreaming
And you're ruining my best made plans


[Chorus]

E                                           B
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
C#m
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
A
But your head's gone
And it won't be long
E                                           B
The rat he turned and bared his teeth at you
C#m
The wake is calling, what you gonna do?
A
But your head's gone
And it won't be long


[Bridge]

E                                             C#m
So the sinners stopped and the villains turned
      A                    E           C#m    A
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
E                                               C#m
Let's meet the mountains and see what they heard
      A                    E            C#m    A
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird


[Outro]

E                                         C#m
I said I'll be the sky and you be the bird
      A                    E           C#m     A
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
E                                         C#m
I said I'll be the sky and you be the bird
      A                    E          C#m    A
And I'll be the sky and you be the bird
