Too many birds in one tree
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
Too many birds in one tree
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
The sky is full of black and screaming
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
And one more bird, Then one more bird
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
And one last bird, And another
G   Am7C6add9
One last black bird without a place to land
D7  D7(2) D7...
One last black bird without a place to be
Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest
Oh black bird, over black rain burn
This is not where you last knew rest
You fly all night to sleep on stone
The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone
You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds
Too many birds
Too many birds
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
If...
If you...
If you could...
If you could only...
If you could only stop...
If you could only stop your...
If you could only stop your heart...
If you could only stop your heart beat...
If you could only stop your heart beat for...
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart...
G   Am7C6add9 D7  D7(2) D7  
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.
