October Birds Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Where’d the October birds [D]go?
I used to watch them from the window
When I had [G]eyes [Em]to see, [G]when
I was [D]more like me
Where did your rosy face go?
When did your cheeks get so hollow?
Is it just a reflec[G]tion of [Em]me?[G]
Did i hurt [Em]you so [D]badly[A]
I [Bm]want to be good but the mo[A]ment I see
That runaway [Bm]bride on [A]the train headed east
I [Bm]want to be like her
I [A]want to be free
[Bm]She lifts her dress and she
runs [A]into the street
[D]But I’ve never seen a stair[A]case
without dreaming of fall[Bm]ing
I’m the flinch in your [G]cheek,
I’m the shake in your hand[D]s and
I’ve laid here before, and
[A]I’ll lay here aga[Bm]in
I haven’t seen [G]war but
I’ve tasted the sand
[D]I’ve died five hundred tim[A]es with your flag in my
[Bm]hand[G][Bm][D][A][Bm]
[G][D][A][D]
I’ve never seen [A]a river without
dreaming of [Bm]jumping
Call me lucky [G]and spoiled,
I’m selfish and [D]aw ful
I wake and i want [A]more,
I go to sleep [Bm]needing you over and [G]over
[A]I take wha[G]t you give me[D]
No man is an [A]is land,
I’m the girl [D]on [Bm]your shoreline
washed up and [G]heaving
Pathetically [D]breathing
I cling to your [A]sleeves and
I stop you from [Bm]leaving October birds
[Em]Singing and wedding [G]bells
[D]ringing tied to the [A]altar
I ’ll keep you [Bm]forever[G][D]
Don’t let me down [A]easy,
you’re in me too [Bm]deeply

[Outro 1]
