Birds

• Abm

Intro: Abm  F# 

Verse 1:
 
Abm 
This is our true alarm. This is reality.  
F# 
We will do what we can.  
Abm 
We are just figurines with a theology  
F# 
that we don’t understand.  

Pre-Chorus: 
Ebm                         
We can’t forget the  
B 
beginning, when He 
C# 
set our broken wings.  


Ebm 
God, how much does it  
B 
take for us to be  
F# 
loved? For us to be  
C# 
saved? We all are  
Ebm 
birds stuck inside our  
B 
cage, covered up with 
F# 
praise. And behind our 
C# 
saints we hide our 
Ebm 
face. Oh, the numbers  
B 
come. Yeah, they’re dialing 
F# 
in. We can’t 
G#m  
help but to comp- 
C# 
are ourselves again.  

Break: Abm  F# 

Verse 2: 

Abm 
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.  
F# 
And we can’t see past our thrones.  
Abm 
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.  
F# 
Oh God, where have we gone?  

Pre-Chorus:
 
Ebm 
When I’m just one fighting in- 
B 
difference, does it  
C#m 
matter what I say?  

 
Ebm 
God, how much does it  
B 
take for us to be  
F# 
loved? For us to be  
C# 
saved? We all are  
Ebm 
birds stuck inside our  
B 
cage, covered up with 
F# 
praise. And behind our 
C# 
saints we hide our 
Ebm 
face. Oh, the numbers  
B 
come. Yeah, they’re dialing 
F# 
in. We can’t 
G#m 
help but to comp- 
C# 
are ourselves again.  


Outro: Abm  F#  Abm  F# 

Abm 
It’s not that there were ever bad 
F# 
intentions— it’s 
Abm 
more that we forgot where to call 
F# 
home. From im- 
Abm 
portant things that we don’t know to  
F# 
mention, it’s the  
Abm 
uniform that we put on—the  
F# 
formula we have for  

C#7/E  Ebm   Abm   F#   C#m7  Ebm  Abm  F# 
love 

Abm 
Beautiful  
F# 
intentions 
C#m7/E 
Formula for  
Ebm

Abm 
Beautiful  
F#

C#m7/E 
Formula for

love 

Abm 
It’s not that there were ever bad 
F# 
intentions— it’s 
E7 
more that we forgot where to call 
C#m7/E 
home. From im- 
Abm 
portant things that we don’t know to  
F# 
mention, it’s the  
C#m7/E 
uniform that we put on—the  
Ebm 
formula we have for  
Abm 
love
