There's a bird stealing bread

That I brought out from under my nose

Tell me baby tell me

Does his company make
EM7
Light of a rainy day

And the way we would speak
EM7
And all that we wouldn't say
AM7A

Do his hands in your hair
B EM7
Feel a lot like a thing you believe in
AM7 B
Or a bit like a bird stealing bread
EM7
Out from under your nose
AM7 EM7
Tell me baby tell me
AM7
Do you carry the words
EM7
Around like a key or change
AM7 EM7
I've been thinking lately
AM7
of a night on the stoop
EM7
and all that we wouldn't say
AM7A
()
If I see you again
B
On the street, by the beach
EM7
In the evening
AM7
Will you fly like a
B
bird stealing bread
EM7
Out from under my nose
Thanks all of you. I hope this is right.
