DbDb: F0/4Gb/6/6Bbm/6/4
[Chorus]
Take some Dbtime  try to cleFanse you from my mind
It takes Bbmtime  darling  tGbime
TiDbme teach a caFged bird how to fly
It takes tBbmime  darling  tFime
[Verse 1]
In thDbe starlight so blue remFember evenings so yellow
I no longer dream of Bbmyou  but your sGbhirt's still in my dresser
Been Dbto the studio  I've been walFking through the jungle
When the wBbmind cries out for you  and it soGbund like synth and cello
Kinda fDbeels like birds in cages
When you Fbreak the locks
I can lBbmeave from where you want me here  but I'd raFmther not
So I dDbrop the top and I float on
StereFo blonde like Gohan
EBbmvery day I drove home
ThiGbnking 'bout you till the road's gone
[Chorus]
Take some Dbtime  try to cleFanse you from my mind
It takes Bbmtime  darling  tGbime
TiDbme teach a caFged bird how to fly
It takes tBbmime  darling  tFime
Take some Dbtime  try to cleFanse you from my mind
It takes Bbmtime  darling  tGbime
TiDbme teach a caFged bird how to fly
It takes tBbmime  darling  tFime
[Verse 2]
And as Dbfor my feelings for you  enveFlope them in titanium
They Bbmcan't get through  can't boFmther me with triviFmalities
And if tDbhey ever flew  they wonF't go anywhere
Those mBbmetal walls  yeah  tBbmhey bite back
And I'd waGbtch as feathers tear
'Cause sDbhe can play a person like it was game of cFhess
I should knFow
And BbmI was walking on a wire thinking I was bleGbssed
Till it brGboke
I knDbow they say the grass is greener on the other sFide
That's a lFie
ForgBbmet the let's be friends  girl  I'ma need to take some Gbtime
[Chorus]
Take some Dbtime  try to cleFanse you from my mind
It takes Bbmtime  darling  tGbime
TiDbme teach a caFged bird how to fly
It takes tBbmime  darling  tFime
Take some Dbtime  try to cleFanse you from my mind
It takes Bbmtime  darling  tGbime
TiDbme teach a caFged bird how to fly
It takes tBbmime  darling  tFime
[Outro]
WDbait on me  wait on me  wFait on me
I'ma have to waDbit on me  wait on me  waFit on me
Got a lot of weDbight on me  weight on me  weFight on me
I'ma have to wDbait on me  wait on me  waFit on me
