M. Ward - I'll Be Yr Bird
(Capo 1)
I'm not the tDiger, he never hGad,
I'm not the fDirst hit when you got it bGad.
I'm not your Dsecond, I'm not your thAird,
I'll be your Dbird.
I'm not your Chesnutt,
I'm not your Mould,
I'm not your DJ on late night radio,
I'll be the first one to ask where you were,
I'll be your bird.
 D                          DaddG DaddF#
Then when there's no one to care, 
I could prBmotect like I've always been tAhere,
I'll become your Gbear.
I'll sing statistics, & hide the truth,
I'll tell your dad anything you want me to,
I'll hide your locket under the dirt,
I'll be your bird.
