Songbird sings from the heart; each word can tear you apart 
D7M/9      Bm        Bm7    G/B          A4/7          A7 
I   sing, you sing along, you find your life in my song

When you need the strength to carry on 
       G/B      A4/7     A7 
You've got me to turn  to 
B                      G             Em7         D 
With the songs that I sing, and the magic they bring 
        D7M            A7            
They've helped you be strong now. 
     B          G           Em7           D   D7M  Bm 
The song sets you free, but who sings to me 
Bm7      G/B      A4/7      A7 A4/7        A7       D7M/9 
I'm all alone now.             Who   sings for songbird 
D7M/9           Bm        Bm7  G/B   A4/7           A7 
Sometimes, when I'm all alone, I sing my saddest song 
D7M/9        Bm         Bm7      G/B      A4/7          A7 
Lonely, and no one can see this time the song is for me 
F#     F#7       Bm     Bm7/E   G     G/F#  G/E 
I can touch your secret place inside 
    G/B            A4/7      A7 
And still you don't know  me 
B                     G              Em7        D 
With the songs that I sing, and the magic they bring 
       D7M            A7  
You've learned to be strong now 
     B             G        Em7          D    D7M    Bm 
The song sets you free, but who sings to me 
Bm7     G/B       A4/7 A7 
I'm all alone now 
A4/7        A7 D7M/9  G  G/F#    G/B   A4/7      A7 D7M/9 
Where  is my songbird        who sings his song   for me
