[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EThere's my yellow bird
And though I'd C#mlove to feel love from her
It was Aall in the past
AAnd my white pBicket fence is burning to the grounEd
EThere's that orange shirt
Burned in my C#mmemory from this hurt
It was the Alast time we touched
I didn't know BI'd never see you agaiEn
[Chorus 1]
AWon't you Blet me Ego?
For Aevery Bman has Eknown a Blove Aof Ethis Akind
Just Bkeep your hands off Emine
[Verse 2]
EAs the years go by
I see the C#mstars they slowly die
AAnd the memories fade
With Beach passing Eday
EAnd as an old man looking back
On the long C#mlife that I've had
I will Athink of this and smile
And be Bglad I knew you for a Ewhile
[Chorus 2]
ASo I'll Blet you Ego
AFor every Bman has Eknown a Blove Aof Ethis Akind
Just Bkeep your hands off Emine
