F
Intro :
 B  G  B  G  B  G  B  G 
B                        E
Your heart sings like a kettle
         G                         B
And your words, they boil away like steam.
B                               E
And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
G                          B
A heart is built for both it seems.
B                    E
You are lonely as a church,
              G                    B
Despite the queuing out your door.
B                E         G       B         
I am empty as a promise, no more.

F#                E          B
  When the time comes,
    F#            E          B
And rights have been read,
  F#            E
I think of you often
     B         F#          E         
But for once I meant what I said.
B  G  B  G  B  G  B  G
   B                  E
I was salted by your hunger,
         G                       B
Now you've gone and lost your appetite
B                  E          G               B
And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.
    B            E
I am lonely as a memory
            G                         B
Despite the gathering round the fire.
B               E              G       B
Aren't you every bird on every wire?

F#           E           B
   When the time comes,
    F#             E        B
And rights have been read,
  F#           E
I think of you often
      B            F#        E       B
But for once I meant what I said.
F#        E            B
 Here I stay, I lay me down,
    F#         E        B
In a house by a hill.
   F#              E     B     F#           E      B 
I'm dug from the rubble,    and cut from the kill.
F#         E            B
 Here I stay, I lay me down,
   F#         E          B
In a house by the Hill.
   F#              E     B     F#           E       B
I'm dug from the rubble,    and cut from the kill.
