Preybirds (Watcher Song) (and Sparkbird)

Intro:
Dbm                            A
Birds of prey spiral around my head
     Dbm                B           Db              E
They hiss songs of your birth, they caw visions of death
      Dbm
I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by
  Dbm           B                Db                E
a thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
            Dbm       Am A
I shouldn’t play with fate
            Dbm           B        Am   B
But what if once, I could make you safe?

Chorus:
             Dbm                              B 
So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
               Dbm                         B
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
            Dbm                       B 
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
           Dbm              B
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
         Dbm                   B
If you’d just look up, I could be your guide
            Dbm                              B
Why can’t I catch your eye how you’ve caught tеns of mine
           Dbm
Eye in the sun
             B
You’rе all I see
                      Dbm
Why don’t you look at me?

Pre-chorus:
         Dbm
(I’m the embers bright)
          Abm
(Flitting lightning flies)
           Dbm
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        Abm
(In the hints of split sky)
         Dbm
(I’m the dying fire)
        Abm
(In the birthing light)
          Dbm
(And I’ll break every bind)
          Abm
(That I’m blighted by)
       Dbm          B          Dbm    Abm
You’re blind to all my warning cries
                Dbm          B             Dbm           B
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
Dbm        B             Dbm      Abm
So I’ve no choice but to come down
(nc)                                Db A
Pardon my steps shaking the ground (HA!)

Chorus:
             Dbm                              B 
So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
               Dbm                         B
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
            Dbm                       B 
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
           Dbm              B
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
        Dbm                   B 
But the birds on my shoulders prepare for a feast
        Dbm                              B
You can taste it in the air, the soon-to-be dead meat
           Dbm
Eye in the sun
             B
You’re all I see
                      Dbm
Why don’t you look at me?

Interlude (repeat): Dbm B

Bridge:
   Dbm                     Gbm                  Dbm              Bm
My breath heaves down your nape, wrestlin’ you ‘way, but I’m too late
       Dbm              Gbm
a body rests, dagger in chest
    Dbm                 Gbm                Dbm                    Bm
The heart in your hands drips, as its soul crawls from splintered ribs
              Gbm          Dbm
To eclipse my head and beg again
Gbm        (nc)
For revenge
            Dbm
Oh, you may think you’re alone if you hide from the shadows
        Dbm
You can bury bones but not the souls
            Dbm
And two red suns in the sky will be the light to build your pyre
           Dbm
They’re my blank and pitiless eyes
       Dbm                         B
Every death birthes a bird to this wretched flock
        Dbm                                 B
Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch
        Dbm
Catastrophe
          B
Repeat until
    (nc)
You look at me

Outro:
              Dbm                              B 
(So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road)
                Dbm                         B
(Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones)
B       Dbm
Look at me
         Dbm                  B
(See my two sun eyes, feel my slow moving thighs)
          Dbm               B
(Tumbling dust in a dimming tide)
Dbm          B          Dbm
One day I’ll come reckoning
          Dbm                        B 
(Hear the squabble angry caws of our wretched flock)
         Dbm                                 B
(Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch)
Dbm         B           Dbm          Gb
Wearing the feathers of our souls as wings
         Dbm
(I’m the embers bright)
          B
(Flitting lightning flies)
           Dbm
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        B
(In the hints of split sky)
         Dbm
(I’m the dying fire)
        B
(In the birthing light)
          Dbm
(And I’ll break every bind)
          B
(That I’m blighted by)
        E
(Embers bright)
          Gbm
(Flitting lightning flies)
           B
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        Dbm
(In the hints of split sky)
         E
(I’m the dying fire)
        Dbm
(In the birthing light)
             (nc)
(And I’ll...)
