[Intro]
All of these Bbirds, all of these F#mbirds in my head
Swarming Earound, pecking to keep me up and I can't come down
BAll of these words building a F#mhouse in my head
Tearing it doEwn, the wreckage is keeping me up and I can't come D#mdown
[Verse 1]
C#mThe carnage of the Ecardinals they haunt me
G#mThe buzzing of the F#hummingbirds ignite me
C#mThe ravens got a Ecarnival that's rocking
me G#mwide awake like F#there's nothing at stake
C#m'Cause I was born Eas perfect as the skies are
G#mhead latched open to the F#skylark
But now my C#mbrain's a prison Ffor the flight, oh G#mget out of my head
Get out of my hF#ead
Get out of my heaEdC#m  G#m  F#  
[Chorus]
BAll of these birds, all of these F#mbirds in my head
Swarming Earound, pecking to keep me up and I can't come down
BAll of these words building a F#mhouse in my head
Tearing it doEwn, the wreckage is keeping me up and I can't come D#mdown
[Verse 2]
C#mThe murmur of the Estarling song is maddening
G#mThe murder of the crowns F#is coming at me
C#mThe ticking of the cElock is trying to mock me
G#mI'm wide awake like F#there's nothing at stake
C#mCause I am still the Earchitect of this cage
G#mand I set all the F#raptors on a rampage
C#mBegging for a rapture, for an Eescape, get out of my G#mhead
Get out of my hF#ead
Get out of my heaEdC#m  G#m  F#  
Get out of my heEadC#m  F#  
[Bridge]
G#mI feel the F#madness wrapping me uEp here
C#mSun in my eF#yes, it's a beautiful sG#mun
G#mI feel the F#madness wrapping me uEp here
C#mOpen the latch, let me into the liF#ght
[Chorus]
BAll of these birds, all of these F#mbirds in my head
Swarming Earound, pecking to keep me up and I can't come down
BAll of these words building a F#mhouse in my head
Tearing it doEwn, the wreckage is keeping me up and I can't come down
