[Intro]

Am G D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

[Verse 1]

Am G

Sometimes it's hard to say even one thing true

When all eyes have turned aside

D/F#

They used to talk to you

F6 E7sus4 E7

And people on the street seem to disapprove

Am G D/F#

So you keep moving away

F6 E7sus4 E7

And forget what you wanted to say

[Chorus]

F6 E7sus4 E7

Little bird, little bird

Am G D/F#

Brush your gray wings on my head

F6 E7sus4 E7

Say what you said, say it again

Am G

They tell me I'm crazy

D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

But you told me I'm golden

[Verse 2]

Am G

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth from a lie

G D/F#

Nobody knows what's in the hold of your mind

F6 E7sus4 E7

We are all buildings and people inside

Am G D/F#

Never know who'll walk through the door

F6 E7sus4 E7

Is it someone that you've met before?

[Chorus]

F6 E7sus4 E7

Little bird, little bird

Am G D/F#

Brush your gray wings on my head

F6 E7sus4 E7

Say what you said, say it again

Am G

They tell me I'm crazy

D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

But you told me I'm golden

[Bridge]

F6 G Am

I know what I know

F6 G

A wind in the trees

Am G D/F#

And a road that goes winding under

F6 E7sus4 E7

From here I see rain, I hear thunder

G D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

Somewhere there's sun, and you don't need a reason

[Break]

Am G D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

[Verse 3]

Am G

Sometimes it's hard to find a way to keep on

G D/F#

Quiet weekends, holidays, you come undone

F6 E7sus4 E7

Open your window and look upon

Am G D/F#

All the kinds of alive you can be

F6 E7sus4 E7

Be still, be light, believe me

[Chorus]

F6 E7sus4 E7

Little bird, little bird

Am G D/F#

Brush your gray wings on my head

F6 E7sus4 E7

Say what you said, say it again

Am G

They tell me I'm crazy

D/F# F6 E7sus4 E7

But you told me I'm golden

Ending

Am G D/F# F6 Am G D/F# F6 Am G D/F# F6 Am

I'm gold
