                      Bbm
You knew just what to say
          Db
To open me up Open me up
Gb               Bbm
 Always an uphill battle

So you left my love

You left my my love
       Ab
Oceans apart and
                     Gb

Maybe time will prove me wrong

When the world beats faster

I'm your songbird and 
   Ab             Gb
my love will never leave
                   Bbm
You held your aces covered
              Db
To keep me at bay

Keep me at bay

Jumped the ship, 
          Bbm
burned the lighthouse 
                Db
Then cursing my name

Cursing my name
       Ab
Oceans apart and 
               Gb
you put her in between us
      Ab
Maybe time will prove me wrong 
Gb
I hope it does

When the world beats 
              Gb    Db
faster but you wake slowly
       Bbm             Ab
I'm the magpie in your window 
Gb
I won't leave 
        Bbm     Ab
When you run for cover 
       Gb        Db
on your count to three

I'm your songbird and

my love will never leave x2
