Am             G          Em7 
Love, it comes up, On the ceiling 
   Am              G             Em7 
My mouth and these arms hold the feeling 

     Am         G       Em7 
Even I can't control my nature 



(With Guitar fill 1) 
   Am           G      Fmaj7          G6 C G6 
If there should come a match before you 
  Am        G    Fmaj7          G6  
I would not ever try to capture you 

    Am G Fmaj7            G6 
Bluebird, where you gonna go now? 



(With Guitar fill 2) 
   Am   G      Fmaj7 
We flee to the gallows 
     Am             G          Fmaj7 
Then I caught up my eye there's something 

    Am          G         Fmaj7 
Its boat led me back from nothing, from nothing 
   Am           G              Fmaj7   G6 C G6 
If there should come a match before you 
 Am         G    Fmaj7          G6 C G6 
I would not ever try to capture you 


    Am G  Fmaj7           G6     C G6 
Bluebird, where you gonna go now?
