[ 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
bites on 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
driving along , fall on your thorn
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 hatched 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
