[Intro]
C             Dm7                  Eb
I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend
    F            Bb
But I'm a little glowing friend
    Cm             Db            G/D
But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am
[Chorus]
C      C/E         F
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch

Who watches over you
C      G/B    F/A       F       Eb
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               Ab/Eb
Not to put too fine a point on it

Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

[Verse 1]
C        F              C        F
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
C      G/B    C7              F               G
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
C                F             C          F
So the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly
C  G/B     C7          F                  G
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e
Am         F
My story's infinite

[Verse 2]
C                 F           C               F
There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
C     G/B      C7               F                G
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck-free
C          F                 C               F
Though I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
C     G/B     C7            F                   G
After killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts
Am          F
Bluebird of friendliness
D7            F           G
Like guardian angels it's always near
[Chorus 2]
C      C/E         F
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
C/G         F/A  G/B
Who watches over you
C      G/B    F/A       F       Eb
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               Ab/Eb
Not to put too fine a point on it
