        Em               C        D              G 
Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds we would 
 Em            C         D 
light up the sky as we fly, 
         Em           C          D             G 
You were orange in red like the sun when it sets, 
       Am                   D 
i was green as an apple's eye 

 Em             C             D           G 
You said you loved all the songs that I sing  
     Em              C     D 
like nothing youâ??d ever heard 
         Em    C           D         G 
And said I loved you with all of my heart, When, 
C            D          G 
We were two beautiful birds 

Em C D G 

  Em              C        D          G 
remember when we were two beautiful birds? 
          Em            C            D 
we would sing when the morning will come, 
         Em            C          D               G 
You are silver and blue like the moon when itâ??s new 
       Am                D 
I was gold as a summer sun, 

Em                C           D          G 
But one day you asked for a different song, 
 Em              C           D 
One that I just couldnâ??t sing, 
           Em           C       D             G 
I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong, 
Am                                D 
  Those were the last days of spring, 

Am                           Em 
  To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests, 
        G                       D                 
Like a book tearing out every page, 
Am                             Em 
We weren't to know that these feathers will grow 
G                    D 
Into a beautiful cage
