Intro: Dm  Am  C
 
Verse 1:
   Dm
As long as you notice
    Am             C                   Dm
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open
                    Am     C
I'll keep mine open too
       Dm
If you don't ask, I won't tell
     Am              C
Just know that, just know that
   Dm             Am                G -single strum-
It all hurts, it all hurts just the same
 
Chorus:
F             Dm                 Am
Something is wrong, I can't explain
                            C
Everything changed when the birds came
Dm           F                    Am                       C
You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early
F           Dm                  Am                    C
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how
Dm           F                 Am               Am -single strum-
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
 
Verse 2:
   Dm
As long as you notice
    Am             C                   Dm
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open
                    Am     C
I'll keep mine open too
Dm                    Am
So, so, I'll probably take you aside
             C
And tell you what's on my mind
    Dm
But you, you'll just keep it inside
         Am                    G
Probably tell me that you're alright
 
Chorus:
F            Dm                  Am

You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early
F           Dm                  Am                    C
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how
Dm           F                 Am               Am
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

You know what I mean, don't you?
Dm            F                 Am
Something I saw, or something I did that made me like this
          C
Could you help me?
F          Dm                   Am                    C
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how

Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
Dm           F                 Am
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
