[INTRO]
Gm
[VERSE 1]
Gm          Bb            Eb
How it must feel to be a bird
Gm        Bb         Eb
Roamin' lonely over sea air
Gm           Bb           Eb
How it must feel to be a bird
Gm        Bb          Eb
London, Paris, underneath
Eb
And I'll wait on my own
Gm  Bb  Eb
(Ooh, hmm, ooh)
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[CHORUS]
Bb/D Eb                   Gm              F
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
Bb/D  Eb                    Gm                   F
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
Bb/D                  Eb
But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
Gm F
Damn permanent reverie
Bb/D                   Eb
And even though this life, this love is brief
Gm     F
I've got some people who carry me
[VERSE 2]
Gm                                  Bb
Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
Eb
Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me
Gm                                 Bb
Nothin' is secret, everythin's sacred, how it ought to be
Eb
Under the moonlight on a clear night
Eb
On rooftops is where I want to be
Gm                                               Bb
Sometimes I'm like a child, that's somethin' I can't release
Eb
Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home
Eb
And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet
Gm                                       Bb
Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that
Eb
In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at
Gm                               Bb
So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' less of me?
Eb
That's what she asked me
Eb
What was promised, what we both agreed
Gm
But truthfully, if you ever go
Gm                       Bb
You'll drop me straight to Hell, the 7th circle
Bb         Eb
And I was talkin' with you earlier
Eb                                       Gm
We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
Gm   Bb                              Eb        Gm Bb Eb
I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
Eb                                   
I used to dream that you would talk to me

Bb/D Eb                   Gm              F
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
Bb/D  Eb                    Gm                   F
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
Bb/D                  Eb
But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
Gm F
Damn permanent reverie
Bb/D                   Eb
And even though this life, this love is brief
Gm     F
I've got some people who carry me
[VERSE 3]
Bb/D
You know that feelin' 
Eb
When you think your heart is gonna come 
Gm F
Right out through your shirt?
Bb/D 
Get it a couple times a year
Eb                       Gm  F
But I've been gettin' it more often with her
Bb/D 
Now when I'm face to face with death, 
Eb
I'll grab his throat
Eb                          Gm F
And ask him, "How does it hurt?"
Bb/D                     Eb
Up in those golden moments, growin' old too quickly
Gm F
Was he thinkin' of her?
[OUTRO]
Bb/D                  Eb
But she's bringin' the moon and stars to me
Gm F
Damn permanent reverie
Bb/D                   Eb
And even though this life, this love is brief
Gm     F
I've got some people who carry me
