MOCKINGBIRD
Rob Thomas
Intro:   C–  F  
[C] Here we stand 
Somewhere in between this [F] moment and the end 
[C] Will we bend? 
Or will we open up and [F] take this whole thing in?
[C] Everybody else is smiling 
And their [F] smiles don’t fade 
And you [C] don’t even wonder why 
You just don’t [F] think that way 
Maybe [C] you and me got lost somewhere, 
We [G] can’t move or we can’t stay here 
Well, [Am] maybe we’ve just had enough, 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love 
[C] You and me tried everything 
But [G] still that mocking bird won’t sing 
Well, [Am] man this life seems hard enough 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love [C]  
[C] Take my hand 
And I will lead you through the [F] broken promise land 
[C] Yes I can, oh yes I can 
I can be there when you [F] need it, 
I’ll give it all till you can’t feel it anymore 
[C] I don’t wanna love you now, 
If you’ll just [F] leave someday 
[C] I don’t wanna turn around, 
If you’ll just [F] walk away 
Maybe [C] you and me got lost somewhere, 
We [G] can’t move or we can’t stay here 
Well, [Am] maybe we’ve just had enough, 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love 
[C] You and me tried everything 
But [G] still that mocking bird won’t sing 
Well, [Am] man this life seems hard enough 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love [C]  
Instrumental bridge:  C–  G–  Am–  F  
Maybe [C] you and me got lost somewhere, 
We [G] can’t move or we can’t stay here 
Well, [Am] maybe we’ve just had enough, 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love 
[C] You and me tried everything 
But [G] still that mocking bird won’t sing 
Well, [Am] man this life seems hard enough 
Well, [F] maybe we ain’t meant for this love [C]  
[ C–  G–  Am– F] Maybe we ain’t meant for this love
[ C–  G–  Am– F] Maybe we ain’t meant for this love [C]
