Verse 1:
   F                                 Bb                 F  Bb
My parents’ house is bigger than our two-room apartment
       F                   Bb                      F       Bb
But we made one of those a red room for your photographs
       F                         Bb                     F       Bb
And my mother said I could stay, long as I called you a phase
    F                       Bb                          F             Bb
I remember your face when I first told you that and you laughed

Pre-chorus:
Dm                      Bb
    Crawling back to my gilded cage
    Gm          Ab         Dm      Bb       C
    Baby bird’s flying and Fido is stuck inside

Chorus:
F        Bb      F         Bb
You will move to different cities
    F          Bb      F       Bb
And I'll still be here sitting pretty

Verse 2:
  F                         Bb
I wonder where your car was headed
                 F                      Bb
The day that you packed up and vanished
        F                     Bb                     F      Bb
Did you make it to sunset, or somewhere with similar views?
      F                     Bb
And I dream about you in my childhood bedroom
F                  Bb
Haunted by husbands-to-be
        F                         Bb
Don the makeup, the earrings, fit every wrong feeling
   F                          Bb
In skirts that go better with you

Pre-chorus:
Dm                          Bb
    This blue ribbon’s back on display
    Gm       Ab           Dm          Bb     Bbm
    Fido’s a show dog and baby bird’s flying away

Chorus:
F        Bb      F         Bb
You will move to different cities
    F          Bb      F       Bb
And I'll still be here sitting pretty

Bridge:
F                  Bbm                    F
  You're setting a scene, I’m setting his table
                   Bbm                   F
You're laughing in bars, I’m feeding his friends
                   Bbm                  F
You're kissing her back, and I'm barely able
                Bbm                     F
To love someone else without playing pretend

                 Bbm
Some piece of my heart ran out with you
   F                   Bbm
An echo of what I once was
                      F          Bbm
When I’d choose to be somewhere (In photographs you left behind)
             F        Bbm
Choose to be someone (A smile that I don’t recognize)

Chorus:
   F                     Bb                F     Bb
If Fido’s a show dog and baby bird’s flying away
    F                         Bb                      F        Bb
Can ribbons still hold her if nothing she’s wanted has stayed?
    F                Bb                   F        Bb
And Fido has plenty, long as she stays in her cage
    F                       Bb           F          Bb
But nothing is stopping the screaming inside her to change

Outro:
F        Bb      F         Bb
You will move to different cities
    F          Bb      F       Bb
And I'll still be here sitting pretty
