          Bm                    G              D
When you left here this morning,  you were a broken bird
                    Bm                G
You said you can't turn out the fire
                      D
You can't turn out a fire
                  Bm
Your senses were widened
                G           D                  A
Your smile was hiding what you want nobody to see
        Em                G
Broken bird, now you're free

          Bm                        G
When you called from the pay phone
            D
You were a paper doll
                 Bm               G
Said I couldn't tear you up easy
                D                       A
As weak as you were and as strong as I was

                 Bm
You think I'm strong, girl
                 G
I think you're wrong, girl
          D                 A
It's not easy to give you away
           Em           A
Still you call just to say

                       G                      D
Just to say you were broken (just a terrible pair of wings)
          Em                      Bm
You were broken (just a terrible pair of wings)
           G D
You were broken
             A
You were a broken bird

           Bm                   G
Yeah, you knew when you met me
              D
That I was a razor blade
          Bm                    G
In these halls of bad memories
                 D                         A
I'll do what it takes just to cut 'em all loose
                       Bm
'Cause that's where I found you
                 G
That's where I found you
      D                              A
To a rocket headed straight for the moon
         Em         A
Where I will meet you soon

                        G                      D
I could tell you were broken (just a terrible pair of wings)
          Em                      Bm
You were broken (just a terrible pair of wings)
           G D
You were broken
             A
You were a broken bird

                          Em  -  A
And you asked me for the world
                        D
All I gave you was the falling sky
                            Em  -  A
Yeah, you asked me for the world
                    D
All you needed as place to fly
                            Em  -  D  -  A
Yeah, you asked me for the world

And I couldn't give you the world
