 AI think of you much mEmore than

 AI remember the night that yEmou arrived
December maybe 'G95
Your hair and your brDeath smelled of John Player SpeciAals
A stranger who I lEmearned to love
A friend when really nGo one was
My Daedalus, my wDings to fly
Why'd you leave mAe behind?Em  G  D

And all those black fGeathers perched deep in my sDoul

[Verse 3]
 AI never really thEmanked you for all of the Glight
You brought into my mDother's eyes
So many Aothers tried
Her sadness since the dEmay you left
She will not get Gout of bed
She stares out the wDindow, smokes a black pack of JAPSEm  G  D  
[Verse 4]
  AI was out on SEmaint Paul's when I heard abGout your fall
Walking with CDaroline, she bums smokes from tAime to time
I walked home alEmone that night
I could feel you when I clGosed my eyes
I looked up intDo the night and watched black feathers fall frAom the skyEm  G  D  
[Pre-Chorus]
 AI think of you much mEmore than I'm allowed to admGit
But I do, DI still dAo

My beautiful cEmrow
And all those black fGeathers perched deep in my sDoul
Won't let me, let you gAoEm  G  D  
[Bridge]
  AI've tried to pEmush you down
I've tried to cGut you out
You're rattling your cDage
I'm rattling my cAage
I've tried to drEmown you out
Drink till I don't hGear the sound
The song's still the sDame
The song's still the sAame
[Chorus]
My beautiful cEmrow
And all those black fGeathers perched deep in my sDoul
Won't let me, let you gAoEm  G  D

[Intro]

A Em G D

[Verse 1]

A Em

I think of you much more than

G D

I would like to admit that I do before strangers

But there you are

Whistling through the trees again

Rustling through the leaves my friend

D A Em G D

A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near

[Verse 2]

A Em

I remember the night that you arrived

December maybe '95

D A

Your hair and your breath smelled of John Player Specials

A stranger who I learned to love

A friend when really no one was

My Daedalus, my wings to fly

A Em G D

Why'd you leave me behind?

[Chorus]

A Em

My beautiful crow

G D

And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

A Em G D

Won't let me, let you go

[Verse 3]

A Em G

I never really thanked you for all of the light

You brought into my mother's eyes

So many others tried

Her sadness since the day you left

She will not get out of bed

D A Em G D

She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS

[Verse 4]

A Em G

I was out on Saint Paul's when I heard about your fall

D A

Walking with Caroline, she bums smokes from time to time

I walked home alone that night

I could feel you when I closed my eyes

D A Em G D

I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

A Em G

I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit

D A

But I do, I still do

[Chorus]

My beautiful crow

G D

And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

A Em G D

Won't let me, let you go

[Bridge]

A Em

I've tried to push you down

I've tried to cut you out

You're rattling your cage

I'm rattling my cage

I've tried to drown you out

Drink till I don't hear the sound

The song's still the same

[Chorus]

My beautiful crow

G D

And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul

A Em G D

Won't let me, let you go

[Outro]

A Em G D
