[Intro]
C Dm F C
C Dm G C
[Verse 1]
C Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
F C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
Dm
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
F C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
[Chorus 1]
Am G
Words hung above
C F
But never would form
Am G C Am
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Dm Am G C
[Verse 2]
C Dm
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
F C
All of that goodness is going with you now
C Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
F C
All of my goodness is going with you now
[Chorus 2]
Am G C F
Dragging along, follow in your form
Am G C Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[Instrumental Interlude]
C Dm F C
C Dm G C
[Verse 3]
C Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted
F C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
C Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
F C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[Chorus 3]
Am G
I was housed by your warmth
C F
Thus transformed
Am G C Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am G C Fmaj7
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
Am G C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
