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 And you're kept in an open cage So you're free to leave or stay And sometimes, you get confused Like there is a hint that I am trying to give you Chorus: Dm The longer you think G C The less you know what to do It's hard to see your way out When you live in a house in a house 'Cause you don't realize That the windows were open the whole time But oh, my talking bird Though your feathers are tattered and furled I'll love you all your days '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 You can simplify chords by removing barre
